He has the world’s second-heaviest brain and the world’s worst impulse control. Now, he’s facing the ultimate trial: you.
This work-in-progress comedy invites the audience to judge a murderer not by his actions, but through a fever dream of absurd tests and that gosh darn devil’s music. Should we save this man’s life or not, you guys?
You decide.
TL;DR: It’s like…
… a courtroom drama retold in painstaking detail by that little freak in your class on the playground.
Artists: Todd Sullivan
Live directed by Alice Gillette.

Reviews
“I live-directed this WIP so maybe I’m a bit biased, but Todd brings a frightening level of commitment to this work-in-progress, proving once again why he is such a vital, skilled mainstay within the Denver theater and clown scene imo!!! The show is a little annoying in the best way possible… it's incredibly clever nonsense that leaves you feeling pure joy even when you aren't quite sure what’s happening (this is a compliment). This could be Todd’s finest hour of Bit Lord nonsense.”

“A Homer-ic courtroom drama live directed by the artist’s 13 year old daughter.”

“Writing this on Saturday morning, this was my favorite show all week. The juxtaposition of choral chanting music with a paper accordion lit up by finger lights made this moment feel SERIOUS. And it was! Todd put the world's first serial killer on trial (sorry, spoilers) and we had to determine if this man deserved to live or die. High stakes! So much responsibility! Todd's physicality is like an al-dente spaghetti: at the same time both wiggly and firm. Thank you for doing the WORK.”

“thoroughly impressed by ivy on tech. live direction shows make me feel encouraged to try more things within this community, its extremely cool to peek into creative's minds.
todd did a wonderful job trying to blur the black and white of morality by reminding us that this serial killer is an underdog while facing trial. the end was visceral until proven silly. i had a good time!”
