Rat Cage at Annex Theatre

A darkly comic technological nightmarescape about love, identity, violence, and what happens when your life becomes the product. Vendetta Payne navigates a new relationship, family pressures, and a totally-not-a-stripper job while contending with The Rats, oligarchic business moguls from the hit TV show Rat Cage. Part romantic comedy, part media satire, part psychological horror, the play moves between the everyday world and a warped media landscape where reality can be fast-forwarded, rewound, paused, repackaged, and sold. The cast includes Kasi Gaarenstroom, Tony Simmons, Kaelyn Langer Mendonca, Tagen Mathews, Taylor Melville, and Philip Gregory Smith.
