That's It Folks!

Set on "the last day on earth," this explosive farce details the reactions of a particularly zany household to the unexpected news that the world is about to end-first their disbelief and then their relief that they will no longer have to worry about refilling ice trays

Among those present are Eden, a pure-spirited girl who is trying to communicate with other planets so that she can exchange recipes; her boyfriend, Otis, a satanist who speaks in verse and aspires to become the Antichrist's personal secretary; a suicidal nymphomaniac who works for a fashion magazine which is all cover and no text; her last pick-up, Zed, a money-mad opportunist whose ambition is to be a magazine cover boy; and a senile ghost who cannot quite grasp the fact that he is dead

As promised the world does expire, with distant planets looming into view; ominous radio voices broadcasting doomsday reports; two hard-hatted angels industriously sweeping up the post-apocalypse detritus; and, in the end, one lone, dazed survivor (Zed) left behind trying to figure out what went wrong-and why

"at a time when our preoccupation with doomsday is in danger of becoming a new form of narcissism, this writer's brazenly cheeky attitude is a healthy antidote" ~ NY Times

"It is a mark of Mark O'Donnell's skill that he manages to crowd an entire world on the last day of its existence into the narrow confines of one small room" ~ NY Magazine

"There is the brain of a genuine wit behind O'Donnell's writings" ~ Village Voice

"an earth-shattering, rib-busting comedy" ~ BackStage
