"It's a buffoonish, perverse, assaultive, and exhilirating ride, just the kind Witkiewicz must have envisioned."
-Chicago Reader
"Witkiewicz nicely unplugged...few American theaters are willing to risk doing his work...it seems like Trap Door only has the guts."
-The Chicago Tribune
Chicago/NY Cast: John Gray, John Kahara, Beata Pilch, Carolyn Shoemaker, Nicole Wiesner and Carl Wisniewski
Romania Cast: John Gray, Noah Durham, Beata Pilch, Kim McKean, Greg Beam
The Crazy Locomotive is a multi-media superparody-- of the worship of the machine and of the new arts of technology: futurism and cinema.
A band of degenerate crimanals and artists comandeer an engine and seek to bring about God's judgment by reacing at apocalyptic speeds into an oncoming passenger train.
This is your brain on Witkiewicz.
