Does anyone else remember Anne Washburn’s Shipwreck?
Billed as her Trump play, it premiered in London during 45’s presidency, and a New York transfer was planned to coincide with 2020’s Donald vs. Joe showdown. . . before the pandemic had other ideas.
Even though The Public subsequently released an audio version, methinks the 2024 electoral rematch is as fitting a time as any to bring a major work from one of our top playwrights to the city that birthed him.
Heck, perform it in rep with Mike Bartlett’s The 47th — …prescient title? — to make it a Donald Double.
