Synopsis: | Anger Box, a collection of new monologues by Jeff Goode, takes a fucked-up, funny look at the Big Question -- you know, the God Question -- and the bizarre conclusions people sometimes draw. Does anyone believe in God . . .really? Do we get a last meal after death row? How did God think to call himself God? Why do Arab chicks wear all those tarps? Does anyone understand why homosexuals are homosexual? Is it wrong to love Satan? Is it wrong to love Santa? Is it wrong to want to fuck the pope? And what is up with Carol-Ann, anyway?!!! | |||||

| Greedy humans exploit the kindness of a magical gnome in this fractured fairy tale based on the Brother's Grimm. An ambitious peasant will say anything to convince the cash-strapped king to marry her lowly daughter, even if it means pretending the girl knows how to spin ordinary straw into priceless gold. Forced to spin or die, the hapless girl begs a lovelorn gnome to save her with his magic. And when her newfound talent leads to a royal marriage proposal, the aspiring princess will promise the gnome anything to keep up the deception. Even her firstborn child! Too late, she realizes the only way to break her promise is to guess the identity of the mysterious gnome before her time runs out and her subterfuge catches up with her. | |||||
