Killer Chicken, written by Jack Rushton
A dark comedy about how dependence can turn into murder.

All the plays in the festival were NYC stories. Each piece was light-hearted and enjoyable in their own way. The performances were consistently strong and well-rehearsed.
It is not too late to get tickets for their final week of performances (June 24 - 27). Check their website for tickets and Covid 19 safety protocols (shortplaynyc.com). You can also get tickets on tdf.org.
