Polar Bear in a Fish Tank in a Mall in China

On the set of a reality TV show deep in the snowy mountains, seven gays compete for the love of one bachelor. But when one of them vanishes, they discover that game isn't what it seems, and that the house is full of secrets: a curse, a conspiracy, a monster. Stalked by an implacable terror, each must decide for himself: did he come here to make friends? Or to win?

    This is the kind of play I want to write! Unabashed in its indulgent horror, this show is both larger than life and true to reality (and to reality TV). This would be a dream for a director, actor, or any creative — what I’d give to see a production of this sometime soon, both for the quality of the play and to see how they’d pull it off!

    This play is a wild ride in all the best ways.

    A hilarious and suspenseful mystery into the missing men on the competition for love and the frightful experience of it all. Well done.
