This contemporary masterpiece of intense dark comedy creates an amazingly funny and witty topsy-turvy world that puts your values to the test. Why are we scared of the unspoken, the taboo, the dark side…death? Since the beginning of time great men have understood that death is part of life, for without death there is no life, and without life there is no death. There is no security only uncertainty. Inigo torpedoes us into surrealistic situations where you don’t know anymore what’s right, what’s wrong, what to think, or what to feel…you don’t know if dreams become true or truths become dream, nightmare…you don’t know whether to laugh or cry, die or make love. Family, Medicaid, Euthanasia, Love, Suicide, the 1% and the rest of Us, Human relations, our place in Nature, the Government…leaps into this celebration of life! Joy!...Enjoy!!…Enjoy Death!!!

LCP’s production features Pamela Martin (ICU 1), Jason Kirk (ICU 2), Joseph Leone (ICU 3), Mary Carroll (ICU 4), Daniel Lugo (PARAPELEGIC), Jan Mizushima (NURSE), Dean Waters (FATHER), Andrew Gelles (SON), and Brian Rush (GENTLEMAN).
