Written by David Weisberg
Directed by M. Graham Smith
Inspired by Freud's famous book of the same title, Totem and Taboo is a grand epic concoction that mixes together elements of farce, surrealism, theater of the absurd, family melodrama, and classic situation comedy.
Ralph used to be a university professor. Now he's a pill-popping, stay-at-home "house husband," raising a 17-year-old son with his wife, Alice, a genetic biologist. While juggling the cooking and the cleaning and the pain-killers, Ralph has also been working on a very long, very complex book, his life's work: Opting Out of the Social Contract, a critique of liberalism, and its failure to fulfill the promise of a better world. But Ralph is having scant luck finding a publisher for his magnum opus. When a drug-induced hallucination lands him in a real-life episode of The Honeymoonerswith cannibalismRalph's world spins out of control.
A hectic, wild, utterly ridiculous, deadly serious, Oedipal family drama.
