The English Comedy Club presents
2 NEW ONE-ACT COMEDIES
This double-header features two new one act comedies
Trash Day & Homunculus
___________________________________
Trash Day
Written and Directed by Aravind Dhakshinamoorthy
A strange incident on a quiet night in Brussels on trash day propels three people into frantic moral reasoning about their lives and unresolved failures. What follows is a collision of talk, assumptions, and self-justifications.
Sometimes all it takes is a great listener to place the truth, like the trash bags, finally outside.
Trash Day (white, yellow and blue) is a dark comedy about guilt, projection, and the chaos we create when no one is willing to shut up.
Homunculus
Written by Santiago Mallan, Directed by Tom Mallan
Art is the best revenge. It’s their umpteenth breakup, but this time feels different to artist and self-styled sorceress Mimi. The obvious solution? Sculpt an idol of her ex during a thunderstorm, and top it off with the foulest lovehate potion alchemy can brew!
An “impish word-drunk play” giving “big laughs and sharp plot turns with confidence” (Rob Weinert-Kendt, American Theatre Magazine), Homunculus is a classic farce in modern verse, a romance for the ages, an explosion of creativity, and a monstrously good time.
