Why did Hillary lose? Ali Kennedy Scott strains to use the metaphor of magic: in alternating scenes, she plays a magician explaining her secrets, and then various Americans reacting to the election results.

Some of these people say very entertaining things: “Liberals have this idea that people want to spend their days reading political stuff—but they don’t!”

But it’s not always clear who they are or who they’re talking to, and their order feels arbitrary.

Scott’s an engaging performer, but the play and its endless costume changes go on much too long. Stick to YouTube.
