ABOUT THE PLAY:
A East Coast premiere event
EAST COAST PREMIERE
It's Parks and Rec meets The Stepford Wives in the hysterical, straight-from-Broadway comedy/mystery THE MINUTES making its East Coast premiere right here in Charleston. History goes missing, along with a city councilman and the minutes from the previous meeting, as a small town city council is forced to confront their beloved town's mysterious past.
‘What happened to councilman Mr. Carp? And where are the minutes from last week's meeting?’… Those are the two most pressing questions eventually asked by wide-eyed maverick newcomer Mr. Peel (Matthew Willingham) in the East Coast premiere of the straight from Broadway Pulitzer Prize-nominated dark comedy The Minutes by Tracy Letts (August: Osage County, Bug).
Consistently hysterical…until it's not…Tracy Letts' The Minutes is a dark comedy that grows dimmer and darker as the 90 minute, in-real-time play reaches its very unexpected conclusion. As Variety deftly describes the show, 'The Minutes is both a political comedy and a wicked, methodically plotted horror show… The play’s razor-sharp edge is all the more cutting for being polished with easy wit, like tickling a captive before releasing the guillotine.
