  Naked Mole Rats in the World of Darkness
Comedy.

Twenty-five plus speaking roles that can be played by as few as four actors (two men and two women), or more, if desired. Unit set.

A swirling and kaleidoscopic theatrical exploration of the many different manifestations of the male-female dynamic. Situations include:

  • A cop discovers the small-time hood she’s just busted is the high school boyfriend who stood her up at the senior prom;
  • the genitalia of a man and woman have their own, highly charged conversation;
  • an aging movie star surprises her ex-husband at the airport; and
  • an art director having a midlife crisis decides to run away to become the painter he always wanted to be.



Reviews

[Naked Mole Rats in the World of Darkness] kept the opening night audience laughing uproariously. [Lisa] Vitrano glides effortlessly from tough cop to quibbling wife to office nerd. Her turn as a sexily indolent pudendum is hilarious, and if it can be said about such a role, subtly done. It is the perfect complement to [David] Avery's wacky rendition of - what else? - a very needy penis. a very pleasurable evening of entertainment.
Buffalo News

Each vignette takes a playful look at an aspect of heterosexual relationships. I found the material to be genuinely enjoyable and reminiscent of the work of Elaine May.
Artvoice (Buffalo)

Sometimes poignant, often hilarious.
The Citizen (Auburn, NY)

Very funny, thanks to the writing by Mike Folie, but it has a serious subtext: why do men and women sometimes seem to be of different species?
The Independent (Hudson, NY)

Smartly written.
The Berkshire Eagle

An honest and poignant piece.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

An intelligent, well-written script enriched by a gifted perception of human nature. Folie perceptively places humor, love and depth side-by-side.
Shepherd Express (Milwaukee)
