Grand Guignol. Theater of the ABSURD. A Punch & Judy Show. The gaslighter-in-chief reigns over all that. Which is it currently for thee?

GRAND GUIGNOL
A short drama stressing HORROR and SENSATIONALISM

THEATER OF THE ABSURD
Theater in which standard or naturalistic conventions of plot, characterization and thematic structures are ignored or distorted in order to convey the IRRATIONAL or fictive* nature of reality and the essential isolation of humanity in a meaningless world

*FICTIVE. Fictitious. Imaginary. LIES


PUNCH & JUDY puppet show

Features slapstick humor(like the 3 stooges hitting one another over the head with CELERY) and the tragicomic misadventures of the grotesque hook-nosed humpback buffoon Punch and his wife Judy
