<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><FONT size=3><FONT color=#000000><FONT face="Times New Roman">“Local playwright Matthew Sprosty (Malicious Bunny) has an unfailing sense of black comic dialogue. Billed as a drama, his new play about bank guards who plan a heist has more laughs that most comedies. Think Tarentino: confused dudes who spew delightfully digressive riffs that are actually more entertaining than the genre-based plot. The young company's production is smart and engaging, with whipcrack direction by Rebecca Cole and energetic performances by an able cast.”<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></FONT></I></P>
