    I started reading this play expecting (and rather hoping for) a long harangue against Donald Trump. What I found instead was a surprisingly balanced look at both the supporters of the man and those who were horrified at his rise to power. Is this play now irrelevant since the election of Joe Biden? Not at all! These are issues we will be debating for decades to come. Timeless, as the very dialogue itself alludes to. Bravo Deb Victoroff!
