Description
The true story of an unassuming teacher who jettisons a cushy job to join the frontline of the Occupy movement, to Communications Director for Jill Stein's well-meaning but flawed 2016 US Presidential campaign. A provocative, intelligent, often hilarious account of how America lost its way and woke up in Trumplandia! Dennis Trainor Jr takes a pickaxe to the pillars supporting the toxic myth of American exceptionalism. A world première directed by Broadway veteran, David Esbjornson (Angels in America, world première in 1991). For American Autumn: 'Calm and smart, offsetting its stridency with humour' (New York Times).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I loved this show! It appeals to my head, my heart, and gives you a good laugh to boot. A fabulous performance, and a real insight into American politics and the protest movements that have pushed for social and environmental justice. It's inspirational, and leaves you with determination and hope.

A thought-provoking piece about American illusions of grandeur, asking all the necessary questions and bluntly baring the roots (as well as the fruits) of Manifest Destiny.

Really enjoyed this show! Insightful and revealing with sharp humor. A bit of a time capsule from the lead up to Trump becoming president. Sort of crushing and also hopeful. Highly recommend!
