WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Berkshire Village Idiot is Michael Connor's wickedly funny, sometimes painful portrait of growing up in a small Massachusetts town. Connor brings his semi-autobiographical tale to life in a dizzying tour de force, inhabitating over a dozen characters, from members of his family to the village thug, the parish priest, himself at the age of fifteen, and even the family dog. Mikey's going to please his father... or die trying. Barry Edelstein directs.

Told from the dual vantage points of Connor in the present day and as a young teenager, the semi-autobiographical tale hinges on his relationship with his father.
