| Synopsis: | Tom X. Chao's plays have all concerned loneliness—until now! Chao (Cats Can See the Devil, Can't Get Started) finally gets started, only to learn what really happens when you enter a relationship: A magical being materializes with vodka to help celebrate. But what if it's not love? Callous Cad presents a fast-paced and singularly unique investigation into what constitutes a fulfilling relationship. For lovers and non-lovers of all ages (except children). - nytheatre.com | |||||
