Recommendations of The Absurdity of It All

  • Nora Louise Syran: 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!

  • Lenny Hort: The Absurdity of It All

    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.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Absurdity of It All

    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.

  • Rachel Feeny-Williams: The Absurdity of It All

    We had the privilege of having this fabulous piece performed as part of our Sunday night play reading and it was utterly fascinating and entertaining to read. In a world of 'sensible' and 'orderly' Chris has created a fabulous world of the absurd and chaotic where Ranzo tries to tell a story to be constantly questioned steered off on tangents. Its a play of wonderfully intricate dialogue that won't fail to insight thought, debate and emotion, and all that from a world that is crying out for nonsense of this kind, the best kind, wonderfully written and needs a show!
