Funhouse

In this collection of monologues, writer Eric Bogosian holds us in thrall with a multitude of sharply defined characters, ranging from a CIA agent calmly lecturing on torture methods to an insurance salesman describing vivid deaths to his clients. Throughout, Bogosian skewers the foibles and pretensions of pop culture. The throughline here is implicit insanity: in the Funhouse known as life, everyone is dangerously crazy, even though some of us hide this trait with the veneer of respectability.

Eric Bogosian is the OBIE-award winning writer and performer of Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Drinking in America, as well as his plays SubUrbia and Talk Radio, both made into major motion pictures. Funhouse was originally a one-man show starring Mr. Bogosian that was made into a program for public television. NativeAliens Theatre Collective will present it with multiple actors.
