☠️ out of 5. Total Poison

Let me begin by saying this is the WORST NIGHT OF THEATRE THAT I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS!  I absolutely adore the Signature Theatre in New York and recognize that they rent out their space to other theatre companies which is admirable, but I have no idea what went wrong here.  I spent the first few moments wondering if I was being punked – – that this was some kind of bad community theatre making a mockery of the worst script with the worst acting.  I couldn’t find anything to applaud.  I have found many a high school production that could leave this in the dust.
