Product by Mark Ravenhill

Anyone who is interesting in a scathingly hilarious kick-in-the-stomach kinda show, try to get your hands on the latest piece by Mark Ravenhill. I just saw it performed at the Dublin Theatre Festival and the script is available for purchase from Methuen. It's basically a guy pitching a movie, but the content is brilliantly constructed to attack Hollywood and audiences for the structures, the stereotypes, and the ignorance that creates our "entertainment."

It was laugh-out-loud funny while also leaving me feeling a bit battered and insulted. It was a nice balance.
