Stanton Wood's new comedy about love and exploitation
in the narcissistic world of capitalism.

 

design by David Liao

 

 

Cricket is a nymph.  From the forest, that kind.  She's also the other kind: she cannot get enough.  Sex.  Her husband's a powerful lawyer, but he can't keep up.  What's Cricket to do?  Take up a hobby?  How about gardening?  Why not, she's from the forest after all? 

So, Cricket hires Jerome to "tend my bush", a direct quote from the contract that her shrewd lawyer-husband helped to draw up.  Although Jerome's an earnest gardener who is working hard, harder than he's ever worked in his life, and for very good reason: he's saving up money to pay for a very unique surgery to save his mother's life, not even he can keep from falling victim to Cricket's appetite for sex.

What would you do in such dire circumstances?  You've signed a contract that you can't fulfill (literally), and your boss is as sympathetic as an oil baron.  Of course!  Sub-contract the work out to someone who was made for the job. 

Enter Rod.  Yes, he's big and thick, and he's got a dream.  Cricket may be the only person on Earth that can help him realize it.

I won't even mention how they end up in the root cellar with a busload of Japanese tourists or what happens at the hot-dog stand or what the heck they're doing in a graveyard with a blow-up doll.  You have to see it to believe it.
