Old Vic Theatre
A BRILLIANT performance from Bertie Carver as Donald Trump illuminates this engaging play about power and democracy, as the former president returns for the presidential race of 2024.
The amazing performance of Carvel is worth the admission money alone.
Entering on a golf buggy before missing his putt, the Trump character tramples through the political jungle like a bull elephant.
