Chores, or The Big Man in The Orange Rubber Rain Suit (1994)

Picture
WRITTEN BY / MICHAEL GORMAN & WILLIAM GORMAN
DIRECTED BY / MICHAEL GORMAN & WILLIAM GORMAN

Nov/Dec 1994
​The Club Theatre, La MaMa ETC, New York

A series of comic turns for four "regular" folks—a one-armed mechanic, a fundamentalist cleaning lady, a thirty-five year old paperboy and a paranoid logger—whose path to salvation is through their daily chores.

​"Albees wrenching "The Zoo Story," and Friedman's slapstick "The Temp" are indeed off the beaten path, but they are not even close to being as obscure as "Chores." As a result, "Chores" is the one that sticks out in the memory.
                                                                              —DAN TAPPER

​"Mike's characters are quirky but relevant. They live on the edge emotionally and psychologically... [They] also have the ability to laugh at themselves in
​self-deprecating humor.

                                                                             —LESLIE LEE
