POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
[Berkley, CA] We love the Playbill synopsis of “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive.”
“It’s just another (omg, wtf, lmfao) day at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. When a White House PR nightmare spins into a legit sh*tshow, seven brilliant and beleaguered women must risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble.
“‘POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive’ is a bawdy and irreverent look at sex, politics, and the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world. Who knew that global crisis is always just a four-letter word away.”
Written by Selina Fillinger, Berkeley Repertory Theatre stages this gleefully feminist satire just in time for the Presidential primaries and notes that “Any resemblance to past White House shenanigans is purely coincidental.”
Entertainment Weekly adds, “The likelihood that you will laugh until your face hurts is one of near certainty.”
As if White House politics aren’t already a farce, Berkeley Rep opens its 2023/24 season with “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive,” Sep. 16 – Oct. 22, 2023.
