Description:

A filthy comedy delving into memory, identity and the human condition in an afterlife purgatory. Johnson, haunted by vivid trauma and existential ponderings, confronts life's fleeting nature and the indifferent cosmos. As he grapples with the absurdity of existence and the torment of his memories, the play blends dark humour with deep questions. It challenges audiences to find meaning in life's chaos and absurdities, exploring themes of cosmic insignificance and eternal torment through a lens of irreverent comedy. It's been cancelled three times in the US for its controversial themes and graphic language.
