Barbecue Apocalypse by Matt Lyle
Barbecue Apocalypse by Matt Lyle
In this comedy, when three couples gather for a mid-summer barbecue on the back deck of a suburban home, they have no idea that while their little party degenerates into a superficial, neuroses-laden interpersonal squabble…the rest of the world has been literally falling apart. Act Two, a year later, is on the same deck for another barbeque – this time to celebrate their one-year post-apocalypsiversary. Things have changed in this year when the only way to measure success is survival; it’s either adapt and thrive or teeter on the brink of extinction.
“It could have been enough for Lyle to set the entire play at this awkward, weird, and painfully honest barbecue; he still would have ended up with an engaging lark that’s sitcom-funny. But then he decides to end the world.” —Lyndsey Wilson, D Magazine
