Transparent Falsehood

See it if If you have not had enough attacks on the president and enjoy horrible, not even funny humor.

Don't see it if If you like anything that resembles theater. Ensemble was not bad, story, humor was terrible.

See it if you would like to see a sometimes sharp take on Donald Trump that tries to explain him by probing his relationships with family members.

Don't see it if you are too tired of Donald Trump to endure sitting through a play about him.

Also It wasn’t easy for me to know how to score this. I think the writing in places is smart, funny & weird in a way that explains Donald Trump better than more conventional analyses. The 1st & last scenes, a long bedtime encounter between the central character & his youngest son, & a haunting by his dad come back from the grave, felt most acute. But there’s also lots of filler, including a too-long scene in which Trump comes into the audience to work it like a Vegas comic. The best stretches of the show play like a sharp psycho-graph of our psycho leader, probing in places (the men's room) that conventional news can’t go. But I realized a few minutes into the show that I am so tired of (disgusted with) the subject that even a smart, different take on the man can no longer engage me. I will continue to follow the daily headlines in self-defense. But I don’t care enough about the sitting president’s soul to happily sit through a full-length play about it.... Read more Read less

See it if you have nothing better to do, and want to see every anti-trump play that exists. Only thing funny in this show is the chandelier.

Don't see it if you value your time. I feel bad for the actors, since the script is not funny.

See it if The show needs to be slicker in its story with Trump being such an easy target. The jokes & clever observations are neither funny nor clever

Don't see it if The cast is trying to elevate the mediocre material but it seems like an uphill battle with no successful outcome.

See it if If you like or hate everything (Donald DRUMPF-REAL LAST NAME). THE BEST PART THAT MADE YOU GASP & THINK WAS THE VERY END!! OMG!!

Don't see it if DON'T LIKE DRUMPF - REAL LAST NAME..NEVER LEGALLY CHANGED (TRUMP-FAKE NAME)...DON'T BOTHER TO SEE IT.

Don't see it if you still love trump and do not want to see him being ridiculed. Also, actors are good, but don't expect to see lookalikes or impersonation

Also We thought it would be funnier than it was. We liked it, but didn't love it.... Read more Read less

See it if If you have very low standards for political satire

Don't see it if If you expect some good insights from a show

Also Many of the jokes reflect Trump circa summer '17 and are noticeably outdated. No excuse for not keeping the script current!
Overall, everything about this show comes off as lame.... Read more Read less
