Heart of the Deal

Heart of the Deal is a satirical play set in 2025 after President Trump leaves office following his second term. Set in Washington DC and New York City, against the backdrop of a Michelle Obama presidency, it follows the journey of an ostensible assassin hired by dissident Republicans to kill the former president. Though out of office, Trump remains as powerful as ever and about to become the first ex-president to host a reality TV show in which he will act as an alternative to the real president. In the course of his journey inside Trump Tower the assassin confronts the reality of contemporary American politics. He must then make a fateful decision: to kill Trump or become his partner.
