Laughing Wild by Christopher Durang

Description

Set in New York during the 1980's, Laughing Wild is a provocative and absurd study of the perils of modern life told by two characters struggling to find happiness and meaning in urban America. Both simultaneously hilarious and saddening, Laughing Wild touches hauntingly and hilariously on the agonies of modern day loneliness, supermarkets, mental illness, the ozone layer and God’s alleged interest in the Tony Awards.

Grand satire… savagely, consistently on target…

L.A. Times

Laughing Wild is one of the funniest plays in the world, able to make the audience laugh time and time again, taking us by surprise with one-of-a-kind jokes and relentless bitter satire.
