Michigan, present day. After fighting for his country, Jimmy wonders what for? Trump's call to 'Make America Great Again' speaks to his disillusion, but Jimmy's new-found politics threatens to destroy his family life - until an unexpected visit changes everything.
Trump's populist slogan 'Make America Great Again' appeals to disillusioned war veteran Jimmy in rustbelt Michigan but his new-found politics threaten to tear his family apart - until an unexpected visit leads to a profound emotional reconciliation. Original, humorous, intensely moving storytelling, redemptive and hopeful, about overcoming trauma, and having to face it to overcome it. From award-winning actor-playwright Richard Vergette, this contemporary piece of theatre has captivated critics.
