Park
In PARK, twelve offbeat characters converge on a
secluded, mostly forgotten public park overlooking Los
Angeles. APRIL (Dagney Kerry) arrives first with the
intention of ending it all, but she just can’t seem to
make it happen. IAN (David Fenner) shows up expecting
romance with his fellow pet groomer KRYSTA (Izabella
Miko) only to discover she’s planned a kinky
rendezvous with DENNIS (Billy Baldwin) instead.
Dennis’s wife PEGGY (Ricki Lake) and her best friend
CLAIRE (Cheri Oteri) come to punish and humiliate
Dennis, and amidst it all, four young coworkers arrive
with a lunch of take-out sushi -- a meal that turns
particularly interesting when NATHAN (Trent Ford) and
BABAR (Maulik Pancholy) prove to MEREDITH (Anne Dudek)
and SHERYL (Melanie Lynskey) that they enjoy eating
lunch naked. Add DARNELL (Treach), an explosive tow
truck driver, and JAVIER (Francesco Quinn), a
smoldering park worker, and you have all the key
ingredients of a no-holds-barred,
choke-on-your-popcorn comedy that attacks the
emotional desolation of modern life in Los Angeles and
will leave you incapable of ever seeing your local,
municipal park quite the same way again.
A “masterfully conceived and executed modern farce, whose performers earn belly laughs by grace of their honesty.” (F.X. Feeney, L.A. Weekly)
