Grim Pumpkin Theatre presents 'A Night of the Absurd', a staging of four plays by Alex Broun, an American playwright. Synopsis:

Alex Broun is one well known name in the circuit of ten minute plays. He has written over seventy ten minute plays till date and aims at completing a hundred. He has his own website at http://www.alexbroun.com.au/. All his scripts are available on this website and are available for performance and screening purposes. We have picked up four of those ten minute plays, namely, “George Clooney and Brad Pitt get laid”, “Five Houses for Harriette”, “10,000 Cigarettes”, and “50 Guns” and will be performing in that order. There is nothing that connects these four plays, except for the fact that these are all stories of people and their lives. Rather people and their short lives. Short not in duration, but perhaps in their meaning, in validity, in their being. The first play is a hilarious conversation between the two hollywood actors, George Clooney and Brad Pitt. The second play is about a woman’s search for her perfect house. The third play, is about four voices in the head, in a conversation with each other about the fantasies related to cigarettes and what can be the final destination of such a fantastic tour. The fourth play is about a woman who suffers from the guilt of killing her sibling. The four plays develop one after the other, but also simultaneously. Each play is enhanced by the next play. Characters from each of these plays can easily interchange between themselves. Each play hence can be the story of all the characters in all the plays. Each play can be the story of any one of us.
