THE BUTCHER
OF QUIETLY
English 75 Min | First Staged In 2011
Hilarious yet dark - The Butcher of Quietly is a tragic farce. The story as told is extremely edge-of-the-seat. The twists and turns in the plots keep one guessing till the last moment. The actions in the play are set in three time zones, and in a place strangely called Quietly. The moments across the play are funnily edgy at times, and leave the audience spellbound by the audacity of its debate. The play reflects on our current politics of indifference and power based on total ignorance of the social good. It is at times poetic, often rip-roaring funny, mostly theatrical, and quietly dark.
