Owen Edson and Gavin Kroeber Idiot Machine Oakland 80 minutes Play - Comedy Children over the age of 13 could enjoy it with parental discretion. Mature Content, Coarse Language $7.00 |
Three idiots, living in a world of garbage, build disguises to manipulate each other. Too stupid to control their imaginations, they come to believe their own lies and are soon caught in a fictitious but deadly love triangle. Blending carefully orchestrated multi-media with virtuosic physical comedy, the Idiot Machine ensemble performs an act of grotesque alchemy, delicately transforming Beckett's existential void into a frenetic Shakespearean farce full of big laughs.
VENUE with address: The Next Stage, 1620 Gough Street @ Bush
