Cracked (Upon A Time)

Synopsis:
CRaCKeD (Upon a Time) is a new absurdist comedy that explores the meaning of life through the relationship of two longtime friends. In the play, three chairs sit at the foot of a graveyard: alfredi¿½s chair, Percyi¿½s chair, and the 'death seat'. alfred, an older man, is writing into a large black leather bound book but in the end it is Percy, an old man, who labors upon the blank page. In the game of Life, the potent ramblings and hystErical bickering between these ancient companions explore memory, love, luck, fear, trust, choices to be made, time to be passed, and the desire to avoid ending before they conclude that 'everyman must go through life on his own'
