Robert Dubac’s BOOK OF MORON
Friday-Saturday, October 25-26, 2019 | Aronoff Center - Jarson-Kaplan Theater
span style="text-autospace:none">Robert Dubac’s Off-Broadway solo hit, BOOK OF MORON, has been described as one of the most “Hilarious” “Intelligent” and “Scorching” satirical attacks on idiocracy since Mark Twain. (And “idiocracy” isn’t even a word. How dumb is that?) One man’s pain is another man’s comedy. Especially when he’s in a coma and his five inner voices won’t stop yakking. How he wakes up from this nightmare is hysterical!
