CHOP

A Solo Play by Brad McEntire



55 MINUTES / 1 M / SINGLE SET

CHOP concerns a man devoid of ambition, with a profound sense of isolation from the busy, happy, productive people around him. Through a chance encounter with a mysterious tattooed woman he is introduced to what may be his true calling - a subculture of unique fetishists who enjoy getting their limbs lopped off. As the guy willing to wield the axe and make the chops, he may finally develop a sense of belonging. A dozen (+) characters performed by a single actor.
