Rosie O’Donnell’s new Off Broadway solo show, Common Knowledge, recounts personal and political experiences including her long-running feud with Donald Trump, her move to Ireland and challenges within her family. The review describes the performance as candid and humorous, presenting Trump as only one element of a broader autobiographical account.

Much of the show focuses on O’Donnell’s childhood loss of her mother and her relationship with her youngest adopted daughter, who is autistic and nonbinary. It also revisits O’Donnell’s 2006 criticism of Trump on The View, which helped start their public feud, and Trump’s later statement that he was considering revoking her US citizenship after she moved to Ireland in January 2025.
