About the Show
Written by American playwright David Ives, All In The Timing focuses on language and wordplay, existentialist perspectives on life and meaning, as well as the complications involved in relationships.
- In Sure Thing, two people meet in a café and find their way through a conversational minefield as an offstage bell interrupts their false starts, gaffes and faux pas on the way to falling in love.
- Words, Words, Words recalls the philosophical adage that three monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or later produce “Hamlet” and asks: What would monkeys talk about at their typewriters?
- The Universal Language brings together Dawn, a young woman with a stutter, and Don, the creator and teacher of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Their lesson sends them off into a dazzling display of hysterical verbal pyrotechnics – and, of course, true love.
- The Philadelphia presents a young man in a restaurant who has fallen into ‘a Philadelphia,’ a Twilight Zone-like state in which he cannot get anything he asks for.
- Mere Mortals eavesdrop on a lunch hour on a girder 50 stories over the street, as three construction workers share increasingly amazing secrets of their past.
- Finally, Variations on the Death of Trotsky shows us the Russian revolutionary on the day of his demise, desperately trying to cope with the mountain-climbers ax he’s discovered in his head.
