About the Show

It's Friday afternoon at the Newton Village council office, and three eccentric council members are desperate to clock out for a long weekend. Jenny arrives with a wild claim: a giant bear has eaten her brother and is charging toward the village. Rather than mounting a rescue, the council uses creative gaslighting to avoid doing their jobs. A brilliantly absurd satire on bureaucracy — proving the most dangerous predators are the ones behind the desks.
