Description
The U.S. Senate’s 2017 confirmation process for President Trump’s Cabinet. It forensically reveals the ethics, beliefs and philosophy behind four key Cabinet figures: Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon, now Secretary of State responsible for America’s foreign policy; Attorney-General Jeff Sessions, a leading campaigner for the President and now his chief law officer; Dr Tom Price, a strident critic of Obamacare now Health Secretary and Scott Pruitt, a climate change sceptic confirmed as Director of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The appointment of these men will have huge implications. They will lead the administration’s policy on Russia, the Middle East, Iran and North Korea, on human rights worldwide, on the Paris Climate control agreement, as well as on the civil rights and the health of millions of Americans.

"[It] left me torn between admiration for the American democratic process and despair at the fitness for office of the candidates themselves... [the play] shows there is much to be said, in a democracy, for hearings into public appointments. It reminds us of the fallibility of Trumps judgment. It also confirms that theatre has the unique capacity to reveal politics in action." -- Michael Billington, The Guardian
