Trump's Women is a new satire with songs written and directed by Lily Bevan (co-writer of the 2016 BBC Radio 4 comedy series Talking to Strangers with Sally Phillips) and music by Chris Read (following the success of The Harry & Chris Show which has had sell out runs in Edinburgh for the last two years).
Satire with songs written and directed by Lily Bevan. Music by Chris Read.
This show tracks Trump's meddling with women he has encountered and employed decade by decade; from the Beauty Pageant days, The Apprentice, the Scottish Golf Course debacle - via the golden age of manufacture of Trump steaks - up to Hillary Clinton, his following of devoted female Republicans and into the future of the man with the mythical hair. Trump's Women takes a darkly comedic look at the man who claims to love women, but time and time again has grabbed them by the... oh, it's too boring to even say it!
This play is an extension of Bevan's play for Top Trumps Festival at Theatre 503 - a collection of new plays staged over Trump's inauguration weekend and was staged alongside new work by Caryl Churchill, Neil LaBute and Roy Williams. It was then developed for the RADA Festival 2017 with support from RADA.
Cast: Rosie Sheehy, Joe May, Alfie Webster, Sara Stewart, Katie Bucholz, Agatha Elwes, Lily Bevan and the vocal talent of Luke Kempner
