Rabbits2U Productions presents their second show for the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the premier of “The Pens Shall Have Their Day,” a dark comedy by emerging playwright Lesley Gouger.
The story follows the life of Alfred (Brian Allman), a playwright in declining health, whose inner Muse, Anima (Mary Rachel Gardner), will stop at nothing to keep his pen on the page. With his wife having recently left, his written world has become a rich and fantastic escape from the harsh reality he is facing, that is, when he actually musters up the strength to write. He tries to navigate the tumultuous waters of his depression with the aid of drugs and alcohol. As he does so, his bizarre inner world begins to leak into his bleak real life interactions, causing both hilarious misunderstandings and tragic folly.
