The Deckchairs (or, Make the Titanic Great Again) Reviews
Chicago Reader- Not Recommended
"...Like jokes on red MAGA hats, no amount of subversion here makes up for the bummer that is spending extra hours with Donald Trump. You can only shoot spitballs at someone for so long before you realize how long you've spent staring at their face. "

"...This type of theatre might not be for everyone. If you're used to more traditional theatre, the nature of this kind of work might feel abrasive. Though there are funny moments, THE DECKCHAIRS mostly stands on dark humor. THE DECKCHAIRS especially might not be for those who are looking for a feel good comedy. It would be a good fit for those who love political theatre and anyone who isn't a fan of our current president."

"...The play's political analysis isn't perfect-more could be made of the role of racism and xenophobia in winning over the lower decks-but this is nitpicking. If you like your theater smart, sharp-edged and in touch, you should see "The Deckchairs." The ending alone-with Drumpf and his repugnant buddies hogging the lifeboats-is worth the price of admission, reminding us that however entertaining the Trump follies may seem, in the end the joke is on us."
