THE BERMUDA CAN COMPANY
“The Bermuda Can Company hits the ground running and never lets up, showcasing offbeat comic chops, manic storytelling, and a bright and busy production design all swirling asunder in this psychedelic romp of a play.”
-Brad Rhines, NOLA.com / The Times-Picayune
On a Friday night brimming with possibility, a rising New Orleans startup is about to take the world by storm – they’re officially releasing “the world’s first fully resealable, recyclable can.” With beaucoup drugs and party favors at the ready, employees are gearing up for the big announcement and the arrival of a famous TikToker who's covering the launch. But when it dawns on them that the prototype is missing, the office degenerates into chaos, and blame is passed around: who was responsible for the prototype's delivery? In a state of emergency, the shiny veneer of this odd office starts to peel away, revealing a legacy of empty promises, incompetence, and exploitation. And yet, the heart speaks!
