    You can pretty much guarantee when the apocalypse is in full swing there will be employers complaining about “quiet quitting.” This play is both hilarious and depressing. An impressive feat. Greg Lam gives us an unadulterated look at our all to certain fates.

    2020- what a year! GREG LAM brings the unique chaos of the year to the mundane as zombies become the latest nightmare for the average worker. A great read - would be fabulous on stage.

    Fantastic satire about the corporate workplace, life in Southern California, and the never-ending onslaught of bad news!
