Description
Featuring four (of the six) diverse but equally hysterical one-act comedies, David Ives’ All in the Timing is a witty, romantic, absurd, and existentially-minded evening of theatre.
Sure Thing - A man and a woman meet for the first time in a cafe, where they have an awkward meeting continually reset each time they say the wrong thing, until, finally, they romantically connect.
The Universal Language - A man welcomes a naïve woman into his fraudulent language learning course, in which he only speaks the invented language Unamunda; however, he confesses to the deception as he begins to fall in love with her.
The Philadelphia - A man discovers that he’s entered a strange pocket of the universe where the only way to get what he wants is to ask for the opposite, a “Philadelphia.” By the end, the man begins to feel content at last, only for his friend to be pulled also into the Philadelphia, while the waitress groans of her own entanglement in a "Cleveland."
Variations on the Death of Trotsky - Leon Trotsky finds himself reliving the moments leading up to his assassination in a series of increasingly absurd variations. As each version of his death unfolds, Trotsky and those around him are caught in a darkly comedic cycle of anticipation, frustration, and unexpected consequences.
