Wangle Dangle


This madcap farce is at once a classic slapstick comedy in the tradition of commedia dell'arte and the Marx Brothers, and a biting contemporary satire of modern celebrity culture. Cynical talent agents, TMZ reporters, and references to reality shows give a sharp contemporary edge to the satire, which pokes fun at self-absorbed celebrities, the corrupt showbiz machine that spawned them, and the gullible public's obsession with stars.


Ages: 15 and above
