Tympanic Theatre Company presents an evening of eight short works filled with creeps and weirdos. Among the undesirables: car thieves, assassins, a hooker without a heart of gold, three ghouls who feast on sick children, two bedraggled castaways pursued by a giant vulture, and one seriously deranged Paul Bunyan. Even with all this madness on display, it's the good writing that stands out, and that's what distinguishes two late-in-the-show pieces. Lauren D. Yee's "Zachary Zwillinger Eats People"--about a man's love/eat relationship with anthropomorphized candy--balances Sarah Ruhl-esque cuteness with genuine feeling, and Bob Fisher's "Personal Apocalypse" hilariously exploits the gap between what's said and done during an interrogation led by a calmly menacing bureaucrat (the excellent Danielle Forrester). --Zac Thompson

Outstanding!!! The performance as described is series of short single act plays. All were delightful, but my favorite had to be Bob Fisher's Personal Apocalypse. Great dialog delivered well by Danielle Forrester. Another highlight was S.L. Daniels' Night Vision which is a monologue performed wonderfully by Sarah Mayhan.
An excellent time and worth the trip to Roger's Park.
