About
If you enjoy dark, surreal comedies where one small decision spirals into nonstop trouble, this is a fun, anxious ride in the vein of Repo Man or Being John Malkovich; Not for you if you hate escalating misunderstandings and bleak, uncomfortable humor.
Pros: bizarre, unpredictable night; quirky, fun performances; tense dark humor | Cons: tone can feel uneven; farce may frustrate; not always laugh-out-loud
