A Existential Dark Comedy
Winner Of A Rolling Premiere From The National New Play Network
All sacred cows imaginable are headed for the dinner table in this comedy. When his university sacks him, Professor Dick Fig is forced to endure an excruciating exit interview. What begins as small talk careens into a delirious comic exploration of religion, love, politics, and the meaning of life. Downs’ fast-moving comedy ricochets between existential interludes, politically radicalized cheerleaders, a pompous newsman, and soccer moms re-inventing the scientific method before reaching its surprising conclusion. The Exit Interview is the winner of a Rolling Premiere by the National New Play Network.
A rip-roaring send-up of Americanized Brechtian angst that had the audience howling.” - Stage Magazine

"The Exit Interview" may be one of the most up-front, honest plays you ever sit down to watch. – The Salt Lake Tribune
“This fearless, delirious comedy undermines the typical theatre experience in search of an answer to the age-old question: do things really happen for a reason?” - Philadelphia Magazine
“William Missouri Downs’ bonkers theatrical carnival is to conventional plays what Burning Man is to a weenie roast.” - San Diego Union Tribune
