Why we like it

"'Laughing Wild' by Christopher Durang challenges societal norms with its comic yet poignant exploration of the human condition."

From: Dark Comedies

Synopsis

A provocative, brilliantly inventive and very funny study of the perils of modern life in urban America from the author of Beyond Therapy and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You.

The play consists of two monologues plus a hilarious playlet which brings the two together and explores more fully the converging dreams and themes set forth in their solo expeditions.

Press Reviews

"Mr. Durang is one of the funniest men in the world, able to make the audience laugh out loud time and time again, taking us by surprise with his one-of-a-kind jokes and relentless bitter satire."

— The New Yorker

"At their liveliest, the monologues offer splenetic laughter, imaginatively induced."

— The New York Times

"The laughs just keep rolling in LAUGHING WILD."

— Variety
