A zany look at a serious subject.
“I laughed out loud while being chilled to the bone,” wrote Theatre Louisville.
1 actor,
10 characters,
and 5 1/2 Styrofoam heads!
This solo play about growing up in a violent family is a Twisted Tale, spun with visceral imagery, mask, clowning, and song.
“We are not dangerous. We are not bad for the environment. We are good for you. God trusts us!”
…announce the People in Charge of this absurd environment called “Home”. Meet the Household Head, his Housebroken Helpmeet, and a Host of other Hapless Hypocrites in this upside down world where things are never as they claim to be.
