A new comedy of no manners

ComedyDrama

After 11-year-old Zachary Cowan strikes his classmate across the face with a stick after an argument, the victim's parents invite Zachary's parents to their Brooklyn apartment to deal with the incident in a civilized manner.

A claustrophobic descent into the absurd, this darkly comedic chamber piece feels like watching a meticulously constructed house of cards collapse. It's a sharp, acerbic dissection of modern civility, escalating from strained politeness to raw, uncomfortable chaos. Perfect for those who relish cringe-inducing social satire.
