Multitudinous Malefactors: A Play in Two Acts

by Peter Ullian

Drought. Crop failures. Coastal flooding. Raging wildfires. A massive refugee crisis. The collapse of central authority. It's the end of the world as we know it, and an isolated rural valley may be the last outpost of civilization. In the last electrified house in the valley, two sisters, Ingrid and Kim, mourn their father and try to negotiate their place -- and maybe find love -- in the new world order. About the plays of Peter "A cross between David Mamet and the Marx Brothers … Ullian has a distinctive voice." —The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Singularly satisfying, winning, heart rending, punchy, button-pushing, irresistible. The sense of new blood entering the mainstream achieves the palpably energizing force of a transfusion." —New York Times "Quirky, crackling prose." —The Village Voice "Without apology. Taut, absorbing. Great style and crisp wit." —Variety "Courageous, intensely empathetic characters … very poignant … and truthful." —The Chicago Tribune
