“Marty has Cancer”
by Austin Archer
Salt Lake City— Prufrock Productions presents the world premiere of “Marty has Cancer” at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, running June 23 and 24, 2018.
Synopsis: Choi and Rhoul haven’t seen Marty in a while. Then, over coffee and a stale muffin, he casually tells them he has cancer. And he wants to move to Hawaii. “Marty has Cancer” is a dark comedy about friendship, coming-of-age (in your 30’s), and the absurdity of “American Idol.”
Playwright Austin Archer said of the play, “I wanted to write a buddy comedy about death and disease that Annie Baker would admire. Something unsentimental, but full of care and heart and truth. I think I did that. It’s a comedy about real life, and the forces outside our control that dictate our experience.”
