Trompe L’Oeil is a French phrase meaning trick of the eye, or optical illusion. Coincidentally, when said out loud it sounds rather a lot like ‘Trump loyal’. Most people who notice this similarity would likely shrug it off and move on with their day. Henry Parkman Biggs, however, decided it would be the perfect title for a musical bewilderingly combining a satire of Trump’s presidency with visuals of Surrealist art, and also, according to the show description, a queer love story.

The cast has been announced for 'Trompe L'Oeil', which sees cabaret, queer theatre and politics collide in a tongue-in-cheek musical inspired by famous surrealist pieces of art such as The Escherian Stairwell, Magritte's apples and Salvador Dali's melting clocks.

The cast has been announced for the UK premiere of Trump L’Oeil – A Musical.  Fresh from its New York run, this cheeky and challenging musical now comes to London to explore the circus of the 45th president’s time in office. 

Fresh out of a successful Off-Broadway run in 2021, musical Trump L’Oeil will have its UK premiere at Upstairs at The Gatehouse this autumn.  This surrealist musical exploration of Trump’s presidency brings a tongue-in-cheek retelling of the Trump years and blends cabaret, queer theatre and circus.
