The local sketch-comedy savants of Killing My Lobster certainly make good on the title of their second full-length play, Pure Shock Value. Matt Pelfrey's script veers from witty snark attacks to the sort of desperate situations one finds in Michael Haenke's films, as it follows three aspiring Hollywood types — an up-and-coming director, screenwriter, and producer — through one ugly night, when both providence and the devil seem to be smiling on them. You'll laugh, you'll feel terrible for laughing, and you'll laugh some more watching this Grand Guignol send-up of those trying to make it in Tinseltown.
