Synopsis

inspired by the work of Carl Sternheim THE STORY: The apocalypse is imminent in David Ives’ three-part reworking of Carl Sternheim’s Scenes from the Heroic Lives of the Middle Classes .

Leaping through time, we visit three generations of the Mask family: from a household in 1950s Boston, to 1987 Wall Street, all the way to a modern techie home in the Pacific Palisades.

Capitalism is on trial, secrets are exposed, and existentialism runs in the family in this rambunctious satire for the ages.

Press Reviews

"…curiously clever and titillating…If you enjoyed Ives’ ‘translaptations’ of French comedies—The Metromaniacs, The Liar and The School for Lies—you will fall hard for this riotous gem."
— Whisk and Quill
