What I liked
With a president like Trump, it is very easy to take out the big guns and fire at that target. That ensures easy laughs and a carefree path to catharsis. A figure like Lee Atwater is a lot more complicated. He’s smart and ruthless – he reaped all the political nightmares that we are now sowing – and though his character might be more than a little questionable, Ben Hethcoat’s portrayal of the man is utterly irresistible.
What I didn't like
Nothing I can think of.
My overall impression
This show is brilliant, educational, and frankly terrifying. It starts off like a shot and never loses momentum with performances from an ensemble of actors that you just do not want to stop watching, no matter how much you might hate who they are portraying. They’re so good, it might make you fall in love with the figures from recent history they portray – even if you walked in fully certain you could never even like them. It makes you think, questions your assumptions and has got this reviewer, in particular, wanting to look more closely than I already do at everything anyone says in Washington, no matter how good they might look [if you aren’t already doing that, this play will give you reasons to].
