“A rip-roaring send-up of Americanized Brechtian angst that had the audience howling.”
Stage Magazine
"The laughs keep coming — even as audience members might think with a twinge, 'Ouch, that might be me.' Some will no doubt be offended by one non-politically correct moment or another. But with luck, all will be forced to think."

Exit Interview, the Script
Order Now
Bertolt Brecht scholar Dick Fig has been terminated by his university and is having an excruciating exit interview with Eunice – a decidedly droll administrator. Downs' witty play ricochets through Brechtian interludes, a pair of politically-radicalized cheerleaders, a pompous newsman, communiques from God, and debates on religion, science and politics before reaching its surprising conclusion. |
