AN IMPENDING RUPTURE OF THE BELLY
by Matt Pelfrey

"Captures the crippling anxiety of uncertain times." -- LA TIMES

"Pelfrey's thought-provoking work is mesmeric from the first moment to the last."    -- Backstage West
​

"Pelfrey has a gift for oddball concepts and sardonic dialogue." -- Variety

"The sort of thoughtful-yet-visceral play that grabs you for its 90-minute running time and doesn't let go until  long after you've left the theater." -- Talkin'  Broadway

Synopsis: How far would you go to defend your family?  Clay worries about so many things; nuclear terrorism, avian bird flu, killer earthquakes, riots, small pox crop dusters flying over Dodger Stadium.  His obsessions are sidetracked when a slowly escalating battle with a neighbor who refuses to curb his dog explodes in an impulsive act of violence. In one reckless moment, Clay's world spins out of control, becoming a microcosm for a global struggle against threats to our security, both real and imagined.
