The Absurdity of It All

    A Waiting for Godot for the 21st century. At times funny and disturbingly dark as Ranzo pontificates and is unwillingly deified in "an allegory of modern wealth distribution"? a "metaphor about consumerism a damning inditement of the sugar industry’s manipulation of global diet?" or - oh, there's much here for audiences to consider as they sit waiting for a post show drink (which they'll need) and time to sit and consider the consequences of doing "nothing" or seeming to be doing nothing. Bravo!

    I’d understood Theater of the Absurd to be a genre of the increasingly distant past, but Chris Soucy finds new life and substantial laughter in this knockabout absurdist comedy.

    Wow! I was honored to play one of the roles in this thought-provoking piece about absurdity...that turns out to be not that absurd after all in the crazy world we live in as humans. The dialogue is beautifully paced and the story arch will blow audiences' minds... how quickly followers become fanatics. I would love to see this produced. JUST BRILLIANT.
