Death by Joinery (2006)

Picture
WRITTEN BY / MICHAEL GORMAN 
DIRECTED BY / MICHAEL GORMAN

June 2006
The Club Theatre, La MaMa, New York
 
Two carpenters—T and G, of "T & G All-Star Construction"—stumble upon the occult publishing world of "How-To" books while reading a book to pass the time on a ferryboat ride from a remote island to the mainland.   Their brutally satirical examination of the book leads to an encounter with “how-to” guru’s Bob Villa and Ty Pennington, home renovation cult leaders who perform a series of rituals on T and G to prevent them from reaching the mainland and spreading their discovery of the cult to the greater world.
 
Things come to a desperate climax as the cult leaders resort to Down-East voodoo to turn T and G's car into a coffin, trapping the now "possessed" carpenters inside. Will the carpenters manage to escape or has their fate been sealed to be the first two people killed in a car by a book?
