The English Comedy Club presents two new one-act comedies:
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.
