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

• Written and performed by David Mogolov. Directed by Steve Kleinedler.
• Music by Ryan Walsh and Evan Sicuranza.
• Debuted at the 2014 FRIGID New York festival.
   

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."
