FARCE. Two actors must write an “epic play” on the spot after the playwright suffers writer’s block. To make the play as “epic” as possible, the writers include plenty of action, adventure, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, red herrings, and zombies in the storyline. The main characters include a pizza-loving, whiny millionaire who loves to give himself pity parties; a dry-cleaning damsel in distress with ultra-rare DNA; a card hustler who fights like a ninja; and a henchwoman who loves energy drinks. What results is a play that is definitely epic!
