A character asks one simple question in Richard Strand's play The Bug, and the walls of Jericho come tumbling down - Jericho, Inc., that is. The comedic farce starts as frustrated worker Dennis Post goes uninvited to his company's administrative offices. As soon as poor Dennis opens his mouth, everything goes wrong. Misunderstandings, wordplay and secrets all factor into the chaos that ensues. A satirical look at life inside bureaucracy, The Bug could serve as a warning to all those workers who want to charge in on the boss's office and demand some answers. 8 p.m. March 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27; 2 p.m. March 21. Rice University, 6100 Main Street. For information, call 713-348-7529 or visit www.rice.edu. $5 to $10.
Fridays, Saturdays. Starts: March 19. Continues through March 27, 2010
