WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A suburban father of two decides to spice up his life by playing Russian roulette and loosens his family's handle on reality in the process. This dark comedy could only come from the mind of Paul Weitz (best known for the American Pie film franchise). The play is the recipient of the 2003 Blanche and Irving Laurie Production Grant, and is presented by Ensemble Studio Theatre.
Oscar winner Anna Paquin, Larry Bryggman, Ana Gasteyer, Shawn Hatosy, Leslie Lyles, and Mark Setlock are featured in the cast.

But why, when EST has been associated with so many commendable works during its 31 years, is this the first play chosen for transfer?
