Eating My Garbage

Dumbfounded by a call from a political pollster who sounds suspiciously like Laura Linney, David searches himself for a rational reason to believe the nation isn't utterly doomed. When he can't quite think of one, he turns to irrational reasons. That's when his search gets more promising. 
 

FACTS

OPINIONS

Reviews

• DigBoston loved it, writing that the show (PDF, sorry - the Dig version vanished) is "carefully constructed and fucking hilarious."

• New England Theatre Geek recommended it too, and had especially nice words about Rachel Klein. 

• Dallas's TheaterJones worries for my sanity in a glowing review: "The man thinks too much and it's not good for him, but a boon for us, sort of like George Carlin in that way."

• Another great review from NYTheater Now: "...looks at the fragmented state of the Union with wit and intelligence and  a wry sensibility that blends the naive optimism and weathered cynicism that is so characteristic of American in the 21st century."

• Fantastic review from of New York's Stagebuddy.com:
  "Eating My Garbage... has all the elements that make off-Broadway theater worth going to: great material, great direction and great performance."
