Laugh It Up, Stare It Down
Play Description
LAUGH IT UP, STARE IT DOWN is a comedy about Cleo and Joe: how they meet, fall in love, and ardently search for a meaningful point in a universe too random to have one. It's a journey marked by curious events, such as a misplaced baby, a fake painting, a home invasion, a sexual indiscretion, and a tidal wave. Can ecstatic love weather the vicissitudes of life, let alone any quest for its meaning?
