Synopsis

THE STORY: Martin wondered for most of his adult life about anger.

Surely he should have more rage about the crime he experienced as a boy, shouldn't he?

Everyone thinks so.

The question haunts him and sends him on a quest from west of the Rockies to south of Johannesburg.

Jumping from dream to memory to fact, he finds himself in an electric encounter with his fuming stepmother, lost in Africa with a guide who can't read maps, in a room translating the details of an asylum seeker's torture.

With equal parts honesty and entertainment, ALL THE RAGE attempts to solve an ancient human riddle: How is it that one moment we might reach out in compassion and the next…kill?

This soulful show leads you into thought-and-emotion-stirring territory that you don't often visit at the theater.“ —The New York Times. ”…brilliant, funny and touching.“ —The New Yorker   ”A potent and deeply moving monologue about living with forgiveness without getting all mushy about it. Don't miss this gem of a show!“ —Bloomberg News. ”Heartwarming and hilarious!"
