In the West Coast premiere of this stunning new comedy by Craig Wright (writer on HBO's Six Feet Under), Recent Tragic Events places the enormity of world tragedy in context - a dazzling, delirious context of uncanny blind dates, drinking games, and Joyce Carol Oates. Craig Wright frames 9/11 in a splendidly cracked rear view mirror, becoming a catalyst for examination of who or what is running our lives.
Do we really have a choice, or are we mere puppets espousing freedom?
