Description
A dynamic collection of five absurdist, hilarious, provocative plays exploring everything from power to loneliness to menstruating hippos. The collection contains:
Real American Dinner Party - Sometimes you lose your keys, sometimes you lose your temper, and sometimes you lose the most unexpected of things. A particularly tense dinner party can change everything in the blink of an eye... (2f, 2m)
Hippos of the Eastern Enclosure - On Thanksgiving, a nervous male zookeeper is overwhelmed by three female hippos, who all get their periods. While the zookeeper, his girlfriend, and his co-worker decide who is on clean-up, the hippos interrogate the nature of ambition. (5f, 1m)
The Visitations - Dana has been alone in her home for a bit too long. Either she is losing it or she is having an increasingly intimate relationship with a ghost. (1f)
Ubu Anew (A Play for Strange People) - A shortened and extremely loose adaptation of Ubu Roi, featuring Pixy Stix and Hillary Clinton. (2f, 4m)
Your Mother in the Night Sky - Your mother leaves a voicemail, the strangest voicemail you've ever received. (1f)
