BIG BOYS
a comedy by Rich Orloff
(2 m.)
“Rip-roaringly funny. An on-target skewering of the ethically murky cesspool among corporate America’s elite. With its snappy dialogue and non-stop mayhem, BIG BOYS proves a winner.”
New York Times
“A truly funny show. A couple of hours spent in the giddily absurd world of BIG BOYS can wreak havoc with one’s gyroscope of logic and priorities.”
Asbury Park Press
BIG BOYS is a two-character comedy about the relationship between a self-satisfied, grandiose, amoral and very successful boss, and his insecure, moral, eager-to-please and very unhappy assistant. Influenced by the surreal energy and comic rhythms of vaudeville and sketch comedy, BIG BOYS is an over-the-top comic fable about what men value and what they’ll do to get it..
