Darkly comic, extravagantly physical, rumination on the themes of love, war and justice. "The New York-based troupe follows in the absurdist footsteps of Beckett and Weill by employing a menacing vaudevillian style...urgent in a rambunctious-sad way. Performers are lovely and engaging even as frightening truths brew underneath." -Chicago Tribune. All ages.
