Justis Bolding & Billie James, from the 2001 production.

This apocalyptic verse comedy takes place in Moab, Utah. The only good man in town is lost in the Himalayas; an evil developer, Mordecon, threatens to turn the city into a toxic waste dump; prophets roll like tumbleweeds across the desert; desperate tourists search for the messiah; and paranoid truckers hatch plots to blow up the town. Add to this a healthy mix of schemes, doomsday devices, cross-dressing romance, and the legendary antics of that desert scavenger, Coyote, and you have a wild and fantastical exploration of life in America during "The End-Times."

Midnight Brainwash Revival was first produced in New York City in December 1999 (directed by Howard Thoresen). It was then produced by FoolsFury in San Francisco in July 2001 (directed by Ben Yalom).

"Remarkably intelligent… complex…witty… Could be on a comparative Shakespeare class syllabus." -Time Out New York

"A brilliant barrage of wordplay and low comedy...exceptional."
-San Francisco Bay Guardian
