This absurd and knowing comedy is unexpectedly one of the most plausible representations of post-apocalyptic human interactions that I've seen. And its vision of post-apocalyptic theater is uncomfortably evocative of pre-apocalyptic theater.

This short is a JOY. A JOY. Simultaneously a stark look at our climate-changed future and a comedy satirizing theater artists of Chicago, LA, and NYC, this play is Too Much Fun from start to finish. As a fellow Chicagoan, I am looking forward to the post-climate apocalypse theater scene here. As much teasing as this play includes, it also feels like a love letter to Chicago theater. Now I want to read everything Paul Michael Thomson has written. And so should you! Start with this.

This play feels so fresh! The dialogue is snappy, current, and interesting - Thomson's allusions to current events and social norms make it very relevant and engaging. An amazing read!

Such a unique post-apocalyptic play. Can’t say that what will happen to NY and LA acting communities was a big concern of mine when it comes to the looming threat of climate change but I’m glad this play is here to help me see what that could look like and more importantly what Chicago will be doing as the future theatre capital of the nation. This play oozes with anxiety for the future as well as frustration with the present.
