His play Marie Antoinette is a raw, fantastical, and funny work about a moment in time when the political suddenly became very personal. Bold, biting, and hilarious, this play about the famous spoiled queen holds a mirror up to our contemporary society that might just be entertaining itself to death. Adjmi’s second piece, \u003ci\u003e3C\u003c\/i\u003e, is inspired by 1970s sitcoms, 1950s existential comedy, Chekhov and Disco anthems. \u003ci\u003e3C\u003c\/i\u003e is a terrifying yet amusing look at a culture that likes to amuse itself, even as it teeters on the brink of ruin.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Marie Antoinette\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Impeccable timeliness. . . .
