We All Fall Down

I recently checked out Nick Dujnic's play We All Fall Down, currently in the final week of it's run at the 45th Street Theatre. Dujnic's voice is original, fishing for meaning in a stormy sea of mischief and dark humor, violence and misogyny, not to mention blow jobs and prat falls. We All Fall Down takes place in the lobby of an ominous corporate office, and centers around a hapless young man charged with the job of uninformed and overpaid receptionist. Yes, yes, comparisons to Adam Bock's plays The Thugs and The Receptionist are inevitable, but while Bock suggests the threat behind the curtain, Dujnic takes it front and center, putting dangerous lunacy under a microscope and watching it shriek and squirm. A game cast each do terrific justice to their exaggerated, hyperbolic roles. Playing through Saturday.
