Mad Horse Theatre Company has gained a reputation for producing quirky plays that climb all over any remaining distinction between serious and off-the-wall theatrics. The last play for their 33rd season, therefore, is right in their wheelhouse, to borrow a term from the world of baseball.

Directed by company member Reba Askari, THE TOMB OF KING TOT is the story of comic strip creator Jane Haley. She is nominated for the Chuckling Willow award but when tragedy strikes the Haley household Jane copes by working furiously on her strip. Her art suffers as her main character wanders through the Land of the Dead looking for his "mummy". The play makes the case for whimsy as a filter both for shutting out and eventually coming to terms with an unforgiving world.

Maine Mad Horse Theatre Company presents THE TOMB OF KING TOT by Olivia Dufault at Mad Horse Theatre Company, 24 Mosher Street, South Portland, ME. The play alternates between reality and imagination, laugh-out-loud humor and tragedy as cartoonist Jane Haley grapples with death, love and responsibility.
