Passing Wind is a comical farce that tears down not only the fourth wall but the fifth wall as well, devolving into screwball madness. Two brothers join a caravan of characters who find themselves entangled in a play within a play within a world their fictional minds can scarcely grasp. Upon revealing themselves all to be playwrights who have authored the same play, they soon discover their scripts — and everything surrounding them — are merely props.
An off-Broadway producer, an eccentric British couple, and a band of bumbling terrorists round out the mayhem. The group spirals into a battle over copyright ownership, only to be interrupted by the arrival of the actual playwright, who claims dominion over the entire theatrical debacle.
An absurdly farcical
practically improbable
fabulously ludicrous
morally ambiguous
scurrilously comical play.
