Cheerful Insanity: Chao and Katzberg in Repertory - Callous Cad Tom X. Chao
Cheerful Insanity played from Sept 27 to Oct 16 in the DOT.
About the show
Tom X. Chao's plays have all concerned loneliness—until now! Chao finally gets started, only to learn what really happens when you enter a relationship: A magical being materializes with vodka to help celebrate. But what if it's not love? Callous Cad presents a fast-paced and singularly unique investigation into what constitutes a fulfilling relationship. Field biologists, Sexpot Annie, Tom's drunk friend, Mike, and many more unexpected characters enliven the eclectic ambience. For lovers and non-lovers of all ages (except children). Comic actress Charlotte Pines (Play Dead) co-stars, in a startling variety of roles.
