‘…Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive’
by Selina Fillinger – SOLD OUT
The subtitle pretty much sums it up: seven women managing mayhem, controlling chaos, keeping the world spinning on its axis – or ensuring the spin is right while the world looks the other way. Seven fierce, ambitious women working hard and being smart, cleaning up the mess, and living in the President’s shadow, until they find themselves at the epicenter of a frantic attempt to save face for America – and save POTUS from himself.
The play is about a group of women all affiliated in some way with the White House, one of the most powerful nerve centers in the world. But in the words of the author, it is dedicated to “any woman who’s ever found herself the secondary character in a male farce.”
Please note that the play contains profanity and adult subject matter and is therefore not suitable for children under the age of 16.
We will celebrate the end of the season together. Voting for the annual Butties will open in the last week of June.
The annual Brussels Union of Theatre Technicians (BUTT) awards, fondly known as the Butties will be awarded on Sunday, 6 July 2025 (from 15:30). This year we will be hosted by Brian Hartnett at his house in Rhode-Saint-Genese (close to Uccle).
The results will be posted here at 18:00.
The director will be looking for dancers for a lavish choreography at the play’s start. She will also be looking for:
Duke, the President: male between 40 and 60 years old
Angelo, the Prime Minister: male between 40 and 60 years old
Lucio, a friend of Claudio: male between 40 and 60 years old
