Those Two Are Definitely Getting Murdered

  • Noah Diaz: Those Two Are Definitely Getting Murdered

    This is one of the funniest comedies I've read in some time. The scope of its humor, its reach, is astoundingly astute and its tight structural mechanics only highlight the playwright's voice and skill.

  • Beaufield Berry: Those Two Are Definitely Getting Murdered

    This play is hilarious, terrifying, irreverent and current all at once. As it goes through the familiar motions of a modern comedy we get these juicy little tidbits and a brilliant pay-off, bringing full on horror to the stage. TTADGM is chock full of pop culture references, tangents and American lore that keep the pace of this mostly 2 woman show moving forward. It's fast paced, witty and smart banter make it a great opportunity for actors with timing.

Tess, 30's Caucasian
Ruby, 30's African American
Santa, Tom Actor 1
Santa, Actor 2
There needs to be two Santa's in order to accomplish all the pop out scares and disappearances and reappearances.
