Project Y Theatre Company
Presents:Trump Lear coming to a screen in your home
 
During the London Plague Quarantine, Shakespeare wrote KING LEAR.
During USA Coronavirus Quarantine, David Carl will live-stream TRUMP LEAR. 


Actor and impersonator, David Carl, is being held without bail for performing his Trump-inspired version of Shakespeare’s King Lear. Carl is forced to perform his King Lear to an unseen online audience of one, as the President restlessly watches remotely from a live and public feed. The stakes are high: if Trump likes Carl and his show, Carl lives. If not, Carl dies. But how can Carl get through a show where he has created a Lear based on Trump himself without offending the audience?


"Bold and often hilarious...thoroughly enjoyable... a spot-on impression."   - The Chicago Tribune
