Do you know Christopher Durang?
Prolific comic playwright Christopher Durang attacks a wide range of themes ranging from family, religion, sex, death, relationships and madness with outrageous irreverence, shocking audiences and keeping them reeling with laughter. A master of the outrageously unthinkable, working on his short plays is a journey into the absurd and a refreshing departure from mundane reality.
American Actor David Wayne Callahan, featured actor in Italian television and international films, earned his Masters Degree in the Art of Acting from the school of Stanislavsky in Moscow, Russia. He is set to take his actors into the mad America of Christopher Durang with the perfect blend of deep appreciation for the art of acting and his great love of irreverent humor.
