Trump and Melania: Private Moments

Acclaimed psychiatrist, political commentator, and playwright Oscar Valdes returns to the New York stage with his latest political drama, Trump and Melania: Private Moments. Set in July 2018, immediately following President Donald Trump’s controversial joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, the play imagines the intimate conversations and political calculations that unfolded between the President and First Lady. It interrogates whether everyday citizens are being caught up in political distractions at the expense of what matters most. Carol Henning stars as Melania Trump with Jedidiah Dore co-stars as Chinese President Xi Jinping.
