About
From the Pulitzer Prize-finalist and Tony-nominated playwright of Other Desert Cities comes a Trump-inspired satire about an Iranian tailor, Anselm, struggling to make a custom suit for an unlikely customer—a real-estate tycoon preparing for the final presidential debate. Originally produced to acclaim during the 2016 election at the Mark Taper Forum, this updated version features a world-premiere epilogue set 12 years into the future, reckoning with the devastation wrought by a reckless administration.

“The first top-drawer political play of the Trump era...That Mosaic nabbed it for its East Coast premiere is an impressive coup for this probing and increasingly important company. It’s impossible to believe that the play won’t be snatched up by other ambitious groups along the Eastern Seaboard and beyond.”
“An invigorating crowd pleaser...the most exquisite insult speeches this side of William Shakespeare...[an] astonishingly incisive and timely play."”
John Stoltenberg, DC Metro Arts
“Mosaic Theater Company's Production of Vicuña and the American Epilogue is in high demand- and for good reason...I can't recommend this Trump-inspired satire highly enough...[full of] star power and resounding relevance."
