Laughing Wild

Huntington Theatre Company Artistic Director Nicholas Martin directs a special Huntington production of Christopher Durang’s 1987 cult-classic comedy, Laughing Wild. The two-person show will star Durang, an OBIE Award-winner and Tony Award nominee, and acclaimed actress Debra Monk, who has received Tony, OBIE, and Emmy Awards.

The three-part play skewers often-touchy social issues, as well as religious and contemporary icons through two comedic monologues delivered by characters called only “Man” and “Woman.” Part three brings the characters together to reenact a troubling grocery store incident, to recount and appear in each other’s dreams, and to participate in a psychotic TV talk show.
