WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Marc Spitz's Gravity Always Wins takes its title from the Radiohead song "Fake Plastic Trees." The domestic comedy is an exploration of the dangers of giving in to dread in an increasingly frightening world. The Williams family (a middle-aged father, his two troubled sons, and their estranged wives, girlfriends, and boyfriends) is on a desparate, collective search for peace of mind via drugs, porn, escort services, friendships with neighborhood children, Michael Jackson-inspired cosmetic surgery, pop psychology, tropical fish, and impregnation of the French.

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man,
A cracked polystyrene man,
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties,
But gravity always wins.
Twentieth century philosophers and artists have noted that mode[...]
