Drama. "Bumps, drunks, egoists, racists, creationists, darwinists—they all live under one roof...and they're loud. 'Don't talk politics with your crazy family. / Don't push people's buttons. / Don't fall asleep with a smoke in yer drunk yap. / Oh, and don't misread a book.' Cuz if you do, you'll have a gang of one-dimensional freaks screaming at you—a gang at home with Beckett, Tarantino and the boys from A Clockwork Orange. And they'll let you know, in no uncertain terms, amid a flurry of shattered ashtrays, broken angels and mind-numbing f-bombs, that they're no butchers. And in the end, you'll find out who's entitled to what, be it religion or meatballs...or maybe a little cheese on the pasta"—R L Raymond.

Rob Plath, a former student of Allen Ginsberg, has acquired a large fan base both on the internet and through magazines and is often thought of as a significant figure who is carving a new path in the post-Bukowski era where underground poetry is without a father figure. He is the author of WE'RE NO BUTCHERS, THERE'S A FIST DUNKED IN BLOOD BEATING IN MY CHEST and A BELLYFUL OF ANARCHY, both from Epic Rites Press.

“Rob Plath exudes divine madness. He is Quasimodo and the Phantom of the Opera slamming the same keyboard.”
—Dan Fante

“Plath’s play leaves the gate at warp speed and never once looks back. This look at the seamy underside of life is a revelation.”

—John Yamrus

“This play has the subtlety of a roadside bomb.”

—George Anderson
