In this delightfully absurd farce, Archie and Eudora take the phrase “all the world’s a stage” to heart—every night, they “perform” their private lives in front of a live studio audience. The problem? Their unsuspecting dinner guests didn’t sign up to be part of the show. Chaos erupts as hilarity ensues, and the great philosophical questions of life take center stage: Can people be good if no one is watching? Are comets divine signs or just celestial physics? And most importantly, is it ever proper to serve pistachios at a dinner party? The madness crescendos into a second act so outrageous, it just might be the wildest in theatre history.
"Downs is playing clever, agile games with reality, perception and identity here. This play is a highly elastic exercise in irony and self-awareness of from that put me in mind of The Stunt Man, and perhaps I'm a sucker for this stuff, but Mad Gravity is inspired satire and one of the best times you're likely to have in a theatre this month." - Arts Louisville
"Funny, fast and thought-provoking" - Insider Louisville
"For a wildly different evening of fun theater." - Bloomington Herald Times
"Exquisitely smart, with brilliant comic riffs on Dadaism, religion, domestic relations and personal morality (after all, if the world is actually going to end in an hour, figuring out whether looting, praying or having sex is the best way to validate the significance of life becomes a question of some urgency)." - Louisville Weekly
