    Where does Daniel Prillaman come up with this stuff? This entire play takes place in a giant hole in the ground, and it somehow manages to not just hold your attention but to be engaging and hilarious and heartbreaking. The dialogue is delicious and the whole thing pulls you along until you can't believe you've already reached the ending. Now I need to go google the answers to all the riddles Hat told Glasses.

    I double-dog-dare you to find anyone better at the dystopian-nightmare-comedy genre than Daniel Prillaman. This absurdist three-hander set at the bottom of a deep, dark pit will give you all the Godot/Dumbwaiter vibes your heart desires, with Prillaman's own unique blend of humor, riddles, movie debates, and scatological references added in for flavor. Nothing this bleak should be this funny, nor this strangely charming...but that's what makes Prillaman Prillaman. Look on his works, ye mighty, and despair.

    ..Or don't. Despair, that is. You can always look for rocks.
