This dark comedy contains rather uproariously funny dialogue, unexpected plot twists and pounding puppet sex—presented by a demonic puppet, his rather perturbed-and-disturbed teen handler and other sundry characters. The show starts off with a monologue by a foul-mouthed puppet spouting off frustrations with life, love, God and Jesus—dotted by salty swear words. This is a story of a teen puppeteers tasked with putting on a Sunday-school-appropriate puppet show. Plot turns feel fast and furious, so come prepared to be both thoroughly shocked and entertained. P.R.
