Trump Lear (Bunker One, Pleasance Courtyard)

A SURREAL, grotesque send-up of The Donald by brilliant American impersonator David Carl ( right). Carl’s shtick is that he’s been kidnapped by the President and made to perform his spoof of Trump playing Shakespeare’s King Lear . . . under pain of death by drone strike. In addition to Trump, he also does impersonations of George W. Bush as the play’s evil bastard Edmund, Ronald Reagan as loyal servant Kent and George Bush Senior as Gloucester. The Trump sons run out as Beavis and Butthead.

‘Sad’, but funny. ★★★★✩
