All In The Timing

September 17 - October 1, 1999

This critically acclaimed, award-winning evening of comedies combines wit, intellect, satire and just plain fun. The writing is not only very funny, it has the density of thought and precision of poetry. The collection of six plays weaves comically through contemporary and historic issues: a couple meets with the help of new first impressions; three monkeys converse while typing into infinity with the hopes of producing Hamlet; a young woman with a stutter and a teacher with a wild new language find true love; composer Philip Glass has an existential crisis in a bakery; a guy falls into a Twilight-Zone-like state in which he can not get anything he asks for in a restaurant; and Leon Trotsky is desperately trying to cope with the mountain-climber’s axe he’s discovered in his head.
