So I Killed a Few People

""Go for the heart, just don't eat it," says Archie Nunn, recalling a friend's counsel-pretty sage advice for someone with nothing in the world but an orange jumpsuit, a tape recorder, a date with the electric chair, and a solo show on death row. A legendary killer, Nunn has one last wish: to heap abuse on the Disney corporation, which he blames for his problems, and tell of his twin obsessions with serial television and serial murder. Annoyance vet Mark Sutton plays Nunn with southern charm and a working knowledge of Facebook and Twitter-the script, by David Summers and Gary Rudoren, has been updated since the play's 1997 premiere. Nunn's hatred of the media, coupled with his insistence on being seen and heard, gives the audience plenty to chew on in its dual roles of voyeur and priest." -Hannah Gold

Manic Pixie Dreamland

"Manic Pixie Dreamland is an amazing place with a glitter fountain and unicorn stables and a ukulele tree where quirky young women spend their time doing arts and crafts and live for the summers when they will go out into the world and transform the lives of morose young white men with their magical joy and vivacity and—this cannot be emphasized enough—quirkiness. The term "manic pixie dream girl" was coined by Nathan Rabin to describe this sort of flat movie character, who "exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors" (prototype: Natalie Portman in Garden State). This Annoyance production has the potential to be a tired retread of Rabin's essay and the million feminist blog rants that followed, but happily, it's far more inventive than that, and the extremely talented cast's high spirits are infectious." —Aimee Levitt
