Trump is back in the White House; as he cosies up to his new bestie Elon, threatens US expansion, renames gulfs, deports millions and starts trade wars, Melania spends her days dreaming about shoes and contemplating her role in this new world order.
FINDING MELANIA 2.0 is a deliciously twisted dark comedy about the fascination and allure of masculine power and the women who submit all. A solo show blending dark clowning and absurd comedy, it peels back the glamorous facade of Melania Trump to reveal the grotesque underneath. Originally created in 2022, this work returns to reflect the world today and what it still takes to be the wife of the Orange man- and how much she - and we - are complicit in his rise to power...again.

Reviews
The masterful Denise Stephenson's surreal comic creation....is an otherworldly treat.
- The Scotsman, ★★★★
She’s a strangely compelling presence, whether lovingly stroking the walls...or barking commands..
- The Stage
A dark and desolate dinner party of the mind.. alternately hilarious and haunting..
