A Work as ferocious as Mr. Bogosian's own one-man shows."e; -- David Richards, New York Times A scarifying dissection of youthful disillusion that manages to be both appalling and appealing. -- Newsweek Bogosian s script retains the playwright-performer s trademark vitriol and hammer wit. -- TimeOut New YorkThis updated version of Eric Bogosian s theatrical tour de force, set in a convenience store parking lot, riveted audiences in its Off-Broadway premiere.
