VIOLENCE:
The Misadventures of Spike Spangle, Farmer
By Tim Robbins and Adam Simon
Directed by Bob Turton
“A boisterous, brutal comic odyssey”
– Los Angeles Times
“An exuberant satire with a rock and roll heart”
– Chicago Sun Times
Originally written and performed in 1986, this no-holds barred satire of militarism and media manipulation tells the story of Spike Spangle, a down on his luck farmer who gets sucked into a whirlwind of celebrity and patriotism. He joins Superman on billionaire Max Enormous’ Celebrity Space Shuttle and a nefarious plot leads to the deification of Spike Spangle as an American hero.
