The Brooklyn College Theater Department Presents

Adam Bock's
The Thugs

Directed by Welker White, Director
A Thesis Production

Dark rumors are being spread by office temps populating the ninth floor office space in Adam Bock's Obie Award-winning play, The Thugs.  Threatened by possible unemployment, the ominous police presence in the building, and the fact that the workers on the sixteenth floor get tons of free candy, danger seems to loom in the most unexpected and mundane places in this thrilling comedy about office politics and the everyday challenges to human existence. The play is a non-stop nightmare of a comedy, at once realistic and absurd.  Oh, and what about that heavy breathing in the dark?!
