A Boston Premiere by Kristoffer Diaz
Directed by Shawn LaCount

Having just won the Obie for Best New American Play, this Pulitzer finalist is as hilarious as it is relevant. Mace is a professional wrestler. He’s a really good professional wrestler. He’s not the champion though — that’s the impossibly charismatic Chad Deity. When Mace discovers a young Indian-American Brooklyn kid whose charisma rivals that of the champ, Mace decides to get him a job in the company. Only problem is, the boss has a very specific plan for the duo! A serious minded comedy about wrestling, geopolitics, and raisin bread.

“This dynamite show is like Tarantino tackling the WWF.”
– New York Post

“A smack-down of a play.”
- Broadway.com LA

“…punch drunk on adrenaline…”
-The New York Times

"Has the delicious crackle and pop of a galloping, honest-to-God, all-American satire"
– New York Times

"Flashy, fleshy and ridiculously entertaining"
- New York Daily News

I absolutely LOVED this production. The script was excellently crafted, and brilliantly and generously acted. The play stands in its own genre of theatre, combining social commentary, humor, action, and the idea of the individual offered as a sacrifice to what society wants. Infused within this are elements of race and worth in the modern society. Because this play is so new, it was easy to feel drawn into something that is speaking of this specific moment in time. The acting was also superb, in particular the protagonist Mace was extremely thoughtfully played by Ricardo Engermann, who combined passion with a sincere reflection of himself that allowed em to follow his story with ease and joy. I cannot recommend this show any more to the seasoned theatre goer, and newcomer alike! Collapse
