Small Engine Repair: A Play

"Stunning . . . A psychological thriller worthy of Hitchcock" (Los Angeles Times), John Pollono's play Small Engine Repair swept every major Los Angeles theatre award including Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best New Production and Best Writing. As Frank breaks out the good scotch, he kicks into motion an evening that abruptly accelerates from macho posturing and grievance airing to reveal a shocking, darker purpose: Enter Chad, a preppy college jock whose arrival--to sell the townies some ecstasy, he thinks--sets this taut, twisty comic thriller on its breathless course.
