On the Evjue Stage, Bartell Theatre, March 24- April 8. Shows at 7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday (4 pm on 4/8) and 4 pm, 4/2.

This ferociously dark comedy follows the idiosyncratic members of a very broken family who refuse to surrender to neighborhood criminal elements and would-be crooked cops.Part Kafka, part Lewis Carroll, Walker’s distinctive, gritty, fast-paced comedy satirizes the selfishness, greed, and aggression of contemporary urban culture.
