A theatre company is creating a performance based on the book Trump: The Art of the Deal, written by Donald J. Trump and Tony Schwartz.

The book was originally published on 1 November 1987 and topped the New York Times bestseller list for months. Trump himself calls it his second favourite book, after the Bible.

That same year also saw the debut of the TV series The Bold and the Beautiful, the hit Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles, and almost exactly twenty-four months later the Iron Curtain would fall.

Who at the time could have predicted that the methods described in this book would one day come to dominate global politics?

A dark, uncomfortable comedy with music and dance, personal defeats, major political upheavals, the Antichrist, and the final bankruptcy of modesty.
