While commercial theater ignores economic reality to sell tickets, The Flea and its resident company The Bats present The Great Recession, six one-acters that last ten minutes apiece. These topical and provocative plays about twentysomethings range from humorous quests for work and sex to a disturbing, not-so-distant future of human experiments after the "crash." The emotional uncertainty within these works is crystallized in the final play Unum, which traces the money trail from the Federal Reserve and back. Artifice is completely swept away by the time these young, talented, and unpaid actors take their final bows.
