This new one-act play from collegiate consummate Booth McGowan charts the mental and physical descent of a recent college graduate Marco (Marco Quesada) after an encounter with an Iguana (Luke Wisniewski) on a friends-trip to his Uncle Bill and Auntie Annie’s house in Tallahassee, Florida.

Will the dour detective (Bobby Cole) crack the elusive case of the Iguana, or will his obliging assistant Maximilian (Booth McGowan) ruin the whole shebang?

Only a ticket will tell…

Besmirched by former-imaginary-friend Jimmy Bob Bo-Thumper as the “master of contemporary derangement,” Booth McGowan will take you for a ride through the pores of your salience circuit and into a brand new side of human-perception.
