The play opens with a middle-aged couple on a therapist’s couch. Their relationship has been under pressure since the husband lost his job. She’s a lawyer, though, so it’s not like they’ll be short of money.

The lost job in question? President of the United States. The couple? Michelle and Barack Obama.

A Thousand Attacks on the Obamas, a Dutch play that opens in Amsterdam on Saturday, imagines the Obamas undergoing marriage therapy in the White House as they struggle with high expectations and the pressure of power.

Raymi Sambo, the writer, was inspired by the shock election victory in the Netherlands last November of Geert Wilders, an inflammatory hard-right nationalist.
