Stray Cat Theatre Presents THE TRUMP CARD
Mike Daisey takes on the reigning world heavyweight of self-mythologizing, the short-fingered vulgarian who captured a nation's heart through bullying, charm, one-syllable explosions, and occasionally telling the brutal truth: Donald J. Trump.
Stray Cat Artistic Director Ron May - who performed Daisey's THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF Steve Jobs for Actors Theatre - is back as Daisey to tell Trump's story from his earliest days, tracking him as he makes himself into a new American archetype-the very first rich man famous exclusively for being rich. The monologue weaves the Donald's story alongside the evolution of the American oligarchy and the rise of dark money, a new ruling class empowered by a country trained to worship at a 24 carat solid gold super classy altar. Instead of dismissing Trump as a simple con artist and huckster, Daisey breaks down what makes Trump tick-and in doing so illuminates the state of our American Dream and how we've sold it out. Just in time for the actual election.
