TRUMP CARD by Mike Daisey adapted & performed by Seth Lepore

Using the bones of Daisey’s script as a solid foundation, Lepore chops up and remixes his own personal story into the fold, threading in the political quagmires of his home state of Rhode Island. From the love/hate relationship the people of Providence had with Mayor Buddy Cianci, to Lepore’s second cousin switching from Catholic priest to Mayor of his home town, Lepore conveys how the cult of personality is nothing new. How, in fact,  TRUMP’s timing couldn’t be better... for the worse. If anything, we created this monster together.

Linda McInerney of Eggtooth Productions directs this adapted version.

“Part Friedrich Nietzsche, part Jim Carrey, Lepore is sharp and challenging and funny.” -Flavorpill
