A secret, a spa in Bangkok, and two naked Germans...
Martin, an ex rent-boy lawyer, offers to share his tales of misfortune with Stefan, a jaded hack writer on a junket. Together they engage in an intricate exchange of outrageous stories, weaving through movies, sex, celebrity and genocide.
Written and performed by David Woods and Jon Haynes, Tough time, nice time is challenging, vividly imaginative and utterly absorbing. With razor-sharp dialogue and lightning pace, Ridiculusmus plunge into the deepest and darkest of places to bring us a tragicomic exploration of two people trying to make sense of their lives through the tales they tell.
An acutely and hilariously observed snapshot of a world going rapidly down the plughole
