Vigil

A black comedy by Morris Panych

Directed by Tom Mackan
Produced by Chuck Learn

Morris Panych’s brilliant black comedy is structured around what happens when an extremely self-centred and shallow person finds himself, through his own errors and inattentiveness, in a life and death situation with profound and far reaching consequences. A play of twisted circumstance, mistaken identity and surprising turns, it is deliciously absurd, incredibly funny and poignantly tender.
