Two related monologues, Elmo On The Half Shell and Jello Shot. One warring couple.
In the first piece, Joey tries to explain to his girlfriend how he screwed up their relationship, with hilarious and disturbing results. Now, seven years later, Sue decides to end things and walk out, only to realize that freedom may have come at too high a price.
A coat rack, table and chairs. Fifty-five minutes without intermission.
