This play features the Zombie Apocalypse, an imitation of the noises Beaker (from the Muppets) would make while having sex, and a full on living room brawl between four characters who don’t seem to like each other very much.

I don’t know how to express its awesome side better than just listing those things. At many points, this play is just purely fun.

It has a dark side, though. You have to wonder at points why these characters even know each other, let alone why they would invite each other over to watch Labyrinth (or why any of them would be the type to want to watch Labyrinth in the first place). You get the impression it’s supposed to say something about the main two characters and the repressed homoerotic bond they seem to share, but it never really gets fleshed out.

Mostly, though, this play is a fun romp. It starts really slow, but picks up well enough after a few minutes. It’ll make you laugh.
