How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Dirty Bomb
A Suspense Comedy With Magic
Written by KIRK LYNN
Directed by PAUL LAZAR
Performed by
STEVE CUIFFO
and MAGGIE HOFFMAN
Sprung from the contents of a backpack left on the subway comes this off-kilter meditation on our new era of global (in)security. MAJOR BANG samples Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove and mixes in the true story of David Hahn, a boy scout who built a nuclear reactor in his parents' garage to earn an Atomic Energy Badge. Along the way conjures up an over-caffeinated dad, a seductive food irradiation executive, a deranged scoutmaster, and a love affair doomed for nuclear disaster. Part magic act, part suspense comedy, part instructional seminar, MAJOR BANG is a 75-minute ride through 21st century concepts of fear- both real and imagined.
