I Really Don’t Care (excerpt)

Synopsis:

‘I Really Don’t Care’ allows us to spend an evening with the Melania you never knew – unleashed, for the first time, from the bonds of White House protocol (if such a thing still exists in the era of Trump).  Aside from the occasional inflammatory jacket or a word or two on cyber-bullying, she remains an enigma.  Is she an almost-innocent bystander, suddenly trapped within the maelstrom of US politics or, alternatively, a self-serving tactician with looks that open doors? Outrageous, hilarious yet, ultimately, yet strangely moving in the way that only the best music theatre can be, ‘I Really Don’t Care’ lets you wear ‘that jacket’ for an hour and gives us a fresh perspective on how we got to where we are today.
