It’s 2028 and Trump is being replaced for good, but will he leave quietly? A darkly comic play with something for everyone!
This new play begins with a declining Trump watching the results of the 2028 US election roll in that will choose his successor. Yes, it’s set in the future! The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is concerned and engages White House intern-cum-Chief of Staff Morgan to keep Trump occupied developing his Presidential Library – one without books, no less. But the library project reinvigorates Trump, and fate hands him a chance to achieve the dictatorial status he craves. The hand of fate, however, is cruel and intervenes yet again in a massive win for the liberals.
Will Trump go rogue, or will a plan to keep him focused on golf, gorillas, porn, and developing his ‘perfect’ presidential library avert disaster? #TRUMPLASTDAYS
Written and directed by Eoin Carney, an early incarnation of the play was presented at the INDYFringe and Pittsburgh Fringe festivals, and it won multiple awards at the 2025 Liverpool Fringe. Says Carney: “This play is constantly evolving, because… Trump.”
It comes to the Durham Fringe with a Manchester-based cast of four ahead of its return to the Edinburgh Fringe, following a well-received short run in 2025. Carney, a Pittsburgh- and Manchester-based playwright, will also debut his new one-person show, M – featuring a woman who may or may not be Melania Trump – in Edinburgh.
“A very, very accomplished piece of theatre, maybe the most accomplished piece of theatre you’ll see at this Fringe.”
