Mad Gravity
by William Missouri Downs
directed by Kenneth Franzel
Mad Gravity is a comedy about two Dada performance artists who have built a theatre in their living room. Every night before
a live audience, they act out their lives. You've heard of reality TV...welcome to Reality Theatre. Tonight's performance
concerns a dinner party between 2 very different families that couldn't possibly go worse...until they learn of a comet
barreling towards Earth. Everyone, including the audience, may have only an hour to live. This forces everyone to stop
arguing about insignificant things and start arguing about great philosophical questions of life: Is the comet a sign from
God, or is it just gravity? And what the hell is performance art? The second act is like nothing anyone's ever seen before
and does something no play has ever attempted in the history of theatre - it lets the audience in on the meaning of life.
