Morris Panych’s brilliant new black comedy is structured around what happens when an extremely self-centred and shallow person finds himself, through his own errors and inattentiveness, in a life-and-death situation with profound and far-reaching consequences. A play of twisted circumstance, mistaken identity and surprising turns, it is deliciously absurd, incredibly funny and poignantly tender.
“A small masterpiece.” – Globe & Mail
“A devilishly funny play [that] laughs in death’s face.” – Maclean’s
“This is one of those rare, liberating plays that actually breaks a taboo. [Panych] gives voice to the silent thoughts that hover around many death-beds.” – National Post
“literate, incisive, edgy and lots of good, naughty fun.” – Syracuse New Times
