The Matrix Theater
Los Angeles, CA

Award Winning Writer/Director David Rouda directs a cast of San Francisco and Los Angeles veteran actors in a double bill of his two plays POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE and Sperm WARFARE at The Matrix Theatre, Hollywood:

POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE:

"CLEVER. VERY WITTY. COMPLEX, AIRTIGHT SCRIPT. CLIPS ALONG SO FAST AND FURIOUS THE AUDIENCE SHOULD BE WEARING SEATBELTS." Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle

"A GEM. EXCELLENT DIALOGUE, ESPECIALLY IN THE TRIAL SCENES." Talkin' Broadway

"GLOWS WITH MODERN TWISTS ON SHAKESPEAREAN AND BIBLICAL CONUNDRUMS. ECSTATIC. EROTIC. SLIGHTLY UNORTHODOX." ForAllEvents Magazine

"IN THE BEST PERRY MASON STYLE, COURTROOM SCENES LEAD UP TO THE PYROTECHNICS FINALE. POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE WORKS VERY WELL, ESPECIALLY WITH A CAST OF FIFTEEN." SF BAY TIMES

"SMARTLY PLOTTED! SMOOTHLY DIRECTED! A GIDDY JUGGERNAUT." Beyond Chron

SPERM WARFARE:

"ELOQUENTLY EXPRESSED. SLICK DIALOGUE. SO BEGUILING. PERFECT."
SF Weekly

"REAL EMOTIONAL HONESTY. NEARLY TOO WELL EXECUTED." Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle

"ROUDA IS A SCISSOR SHARP OBSERVER OF THE HUMAN CONDITION."
Marin Independent Journal (former reviewer)

Set in the sperm sample room of an in-vitro fertility clinic, Sperm WARFARE takes a hard look at how the biological clock impacts male-female relationships in sometimes role-reversing ways. As a 39-year-old determined wife rubs her frustrated husband the wrong way and a sensuous young nurse makes matters worse, husband and wife are forced to define themselves anew.

Set in a law firm and a courtroom, POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE is the personal trial of a young attorney coming to terms with his retiring, successful and domineering lawyer father as they handle their first, and last, court trials. The play explores the boundaries between sex and love, civil and religious law, acting and reality, and parents and their children.

Both plays included in the admission price. Pomp and Circumstance opens for Sperm Warfare. 15 minute intermission in between shows.
