2019 Edinburgh Fringe

Last year's 'chaotically enjoyable' (Spectator) sell-out hit Shakespeare adaptation returns. Actor and impersonator Carl David - aka David Carl - is locked up for performing his hilarious Trump-inspired version of Shakespeare's King Lear. Forced to play for an audience of one - the US President himself - Carl's life depends on making the bard great again and giving the performance of a lifetime without offending the audience. 'A surreal, grotesque send-up of The Donald by brilliant American impressionist David Carl' (Daily Mail). 'It's quite damning' (New York Times). Time Out NY Critics Pick!
