Stolen Chair presents the second installment of its CineTheatre Tetralogy, a timely absurdist film noir for the stage as Ionesco might have imagined it, creating comic chaos out of the possibility that American life might actually be pointless .

If you love the 40's film noirs like THE BIG SLEEP, THE MALTESE FALCON, LAURA, and GILDA, you must see this show.  If you love the early plays of French absurdist Eugene Ionesco like THE BALD SOPRANO and THE LESSON, you must see this show.  If you love LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, you must see this show.  If you love AMERICA, you must see this show.  If you hate ANY or ALL of these, you must see this show.
