Anxiety
Acute Artists
by Reg Rowe
Vancouver BC
Dark Comedy • 60 mins • $9
All Ages

What if we allow an activity that is irreversible? What if we blissfully blunder towards our own extinction? What if we survive, but seal the fate of the grandchildren of our grandchildren’s grandchildren? And this is a COMEDY? Sure! It ridicules the outrageous, the unthinkable, the catastrophic – but the possible.
