Rusty Pipe
By Robert Tobin
Directed by Gerard Jamroz
June 27 - July 27, 2008
About the show: Trent and Eugene sit in a non-descript room verbally sparring as they await the owners of a very important, mysterious, miracle device that they are to purchase for their bosses. When the sellers arrive, though, they are nothing like the expected scientists or executives. Instead, appearing as if they’ve come straight from the bowels of a trailer-park, Wayne and Jenny introduce themselves as the suppliers. Trent and Eugene are perplexed as the couple proceeds to verbally antagonize them and tender a small, rusty, metal pipe as the miracle transaction in exchange for millions of dollars in cash. As tensions rise to a peak, all hell breaks loose. Secret identities are exposed, powers violently shift, and the “magic” of the little “rusty pipe” is revealed leading to a bloody, disastrous conclusion.
