London鈥檚 Theatre503 has announced plans to present Top Trumps, a series of 12 short plays written in response to the U.S. presidential election of Donald Trump. Performances run January 19-21.
Here鈥檚 how it鈥檚 billed: 鈥淚n the week of President Trump鈥檚 inauguration a team of 503 artists offer plays, proposals and premonitions to explore the road that has led to this point and the directions we might take from here鈥�. Each show will feature all 12 short plays, followed immediately by panel discussions designed to provoke thought and action, featuring leading journalists, campaigners, politicians, economists and U.S. theatre-makers. On 19th January we ask 鈥楥ould Trump be a good thing?鈥� On the 20th, 鈥榃hat can I do now?鈥� as activists discuss practical ways to move forward. After the matinee on the 21st we take on political correctness and discuss the shy locker room Trump supporters, and finally after the evening show on 21st we ask 鈥業s the Media to blame?鈥欌�
