Set in your average nonspecific town, in your average nonspecific time period, Bad Play is a send-up of the American "living-room drama" with an absurd edge. It's a delirious love letter to Arthur Miller, Eugene O'Neill, and theatrical self-seriousness brought to you by four comedians who have been satirizing genres in LA for over six years. Now they're taking on American theatre with a play that both mocks and celebrates the storied art form. Described as 'unabashedly absurd fun' and 'a rare gem' (ComedyBureau.com), Bad Play is better than good, it's Bad.
