El Hermano
Romulus Linney
Brooklyn born Lech Fabrinski intends to succeed in the garbage business he owns with his brother and marry Billie, but a Park Avenue heiress wants Lech for herself even if she has to kill to get him.
Though set in contemporary New York City, the dialogue parodies 1940's film noir with humor that rests on classic set ups with knock down punches, some groaners and plenty of modern side splitters.
The situations are a ridiculous mirror image of life in the fast and slow lanes.
"The best of everything that earns The Ridiculous Theatrical Co. its name comes together in... this double barreled blast of talent."
— Variety
"A stiletto sharp parody."
— Back Stage "Its sizzling put downs ricochet
