Daddy's Little Girl

by Dara O'Brien

A comic take on Euripides’s ELECTRA, with Ivanka Trump as the avenging title character. She has been debased by actions of her stepmother Melania (Clytemnestra), who “killed” King Trump (Agamemnon) by releasing his tax returns, thus destroying him and his family business. As in the Greek tradition, the play uses a mix of meters and rhyme schemes; the Chorus is a member of the press.

    A very clever look at the second-generation members of the current First Family. If they were characters in a Greek tragedy and had already met with a turn of fortune, how might they plan revenge in this world of unrelenting news cycles? Any theater planning a political festival should consider this hilarious verse play.

    This is a great, fun, vicious 10-minute play, that I loved directing for the Urban Stages Slogan Plays Festival. Dara O'Brien packs a witty and articulate punch with this political comedy in verse.
