Snap! The world is on its last nerve, but in one small room, one anger management counselor is hoping to make a difference. In these days of rampant road rage, heated political rallies and protests in the street, Snap! is a hilarious look at five ordinary people in a world on the brink of a global temper tantrum.

Wanda's excited about the first day in her new role as anger management facilitator in a mandatory programme. As the meeting wears on, she begins to wonder if there's anything she can do to quell the undercurrent of rage bubbling under the surface all around the room and beyond. In a world increasingly defined by the latest YouTube rant video, these five strangers must come to terms with their own extreme responses. Will a few buddha bells and mindfulness exercises be enough to keep the imminent eruption at bay? This play is one company's comic attempt to explore what happened to the kinder gentler world we all once embraced.

This play began as a writer's challenge for the Toronto Cold Reads. In its next stage, it was a hit with audiences at the 2016 Short Short Play Festival at the Social Capital and has been developed by NightShift Theatre for the 2017 Toronto Fringe Festival.
