“Peerless” Dark Comedy

(Black Box show- limited seating)

This play is a comedy. Until it’s not.

This 2017 work by playwright Jiehae Park takes us on a 75 minute journey with twists and turns at every stop. Filled with meaning and clues throughout, this play will go places you don’t see coming.

Asian-American twins M and L have given up everything to get into The College. So when D, a one-sixteenth Native American classmate, gets “their” spot instead, they figure they’ve got only one option: kill him. A darkly comedic take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth about the very ambitious and the cut-throat world of high school during college admissions.

Peerless is neither an over-the-top farce nor a moralistic downer. It’s frothy fun, full of goofy dancing and awkward romantic fumbles in the classic John Hughes style. Yet Peerless is as scary as it is silly. It’s about anger and cruelty and danger and life and death. It’s also about coming-of-age and coming to grips with mortality.” – Hartford Courant
