"Henry has his problems, but I just can't see him killing people.
Especially if they aren't management."
THE END OF CIVILIZATION is a fictional tale of an ordinary middle class couple set against the backdrop of a country on the brink of financial ruin. The US economy seems to be in a permanent state of decline, monthly job losses number in the hundreds of thousands and otherwise good individuals are driven to re-define or cross legal and moral boundaries in order to survive and... oh, wait... did we say fictional?
-
A dark comedy written by George F. Walker, the Toronto based playwright who is famous for giving us character’s similar with Cohen brother’s in their darkness and the humor that comes from it.
-
