Description
This play offers an explanation, albeit fantastical, for President Trump's inaction and near silence for 187 minutes during the Capitol siege on January 6th, 2021. The play begins with his speech at the Washington, D.C., rally on that fateful day. After he finishes the oration, as opposed to his instruction that he be driven to the Capitol, the Secret Service ferries him to the White House. Once there, President Trump holes up in the private dining room off the Oval Office, which serves as the setting for the remainder of the play. In the dining room, he sits rapt before a gigantic television screen, viewing his followers' descent upon the Capitol. Suddenly, the Grim Reaper materializes in the dining room, and announces that the time has arrived for him to take President Trump away.
In the hope of dissuading the Grim Reaper from completing his mission, President Trump calls upon the assistance of Satan, whom the president hopes will listen to his appeal for clemency. As did the Grim Reaper, Satan materializes in a burst of explosions, smoke, etc. President Trump attempts to convince Satan to overrule the Grim Reaper by presenting a video playlist titled Trump's Big Six, containing six of what he considers to be his political career's highlights.
One of the play's conceits is that only President Trump, and not his visitors, of which there were a few-for example, Ivanka Trump, Mark Meadows, and Pat Cipollone-can see the Grim Reaper and Satan: "Only he whom we come for can see us."
