Big Death & Little Death
by Mickey Birnbaum
directed by Sean Daniels
played February 9th - March 4th, 2007 at TJT
Big Death & Little Death follows two troubled
and immensely likable teen siblings as they cope with their Gulf-war
vet father's strange expressions of post-traumatic stress, the death
of their mother in a mysterious car crash, an inappropriate guidance
counselor, and the ultimate career choice: "Should I go to college
or destroy the universe?" Complete with an enormous invisible dog
and a death-metal soundtrack, the dead spring to life and the living
imitate the dead in this dark comedy about the end of the world as we
know it.
