“There are many ways to end an argument, and a group of roommates creates an unusual one giving them both the final word and the last laugh. These grad school liberals want to make their own history eliminating neocons by providing them with a Last Supper. Dan Rosen's script, like his screenplay for the cult movie of the same name, mixes in (and up) undeclared majors, cable television pundits, serial killing, and horticulture to explore what is "good" and "bad," but never takes itself too seriously. Director Akia and her Rising Sun actors (split into two casts for this run) maintain a high level of B-movie suspense, ridiculousness, and surprise.”
Patricia Contino, Flavorpill
Rising Sun says:
THE LAST SUPPER follows a group of liberal minded roommates, and their well-meaning descent into murder. After a dinner party goes wrong and their guest ends up unexpectedly slain after a violent political debate, the group decides that this can be their way of changing the world and making a difference...one unreasonable conservative at a time. They begin inviting guests over for dinner and political discussion. If they can't change their guests mind through "intelligent" conversation and debate, they end their lives "humanely" by poisoning them. With each dinner, and the bodies mounting, the roommate's relationships to one another and reality quickly begin to unravel.
