    Funny, bleak, and brilliantly unsettling, Basic Cable Method Acting turns a scrappy 1980s audition into something far more ominous. O’Day layers actorly absurdity with sharp political unease, making audiences laugh, wince, and shudder all at once.

    Michael C O'Day has written a short play that has a great deal going on. It's the 1980s and three actors are auditioning for a role in a third-rate sci-fi flick. One of the actors has really done his homework, but... Well, no spoilers! See for yourself! Throw in a little political commentary and a few predictions about what our future may hold and this little script packs quite a wallop.

    What is on the surface a farce about actors' audition prep contains a chilling political prediction. I found myself laughing and shuddering at the same time. Could it be that we live in barely pre-apocalyptic times?

    Hilarious and grim, and the joke's on us -- as actors, sure, but mostly as Americans. I don't want to say any more for fear of spoiling the sly, dark humor of this terrific short. Read it and weep. And laugh. And weep.
