now that was funny...

I went to dinner and a play with a friend this evening at the Arena Dinner Theater.  it's a fun little theater here in Ft. Wayne, where first you eat and then you see the play.  The evening started well when we were seated at the same table with an old friend from my real estate days and his wife.  So dinner was fun and so was the play.  It was the funniest play I've ever seen at Arena and the actors were excellent. I generally don't react well to dark comedy but this one was hilarious. It didn't hurt that one of the characters was in real estate so there were lots of real estate jokes.  The name of the play was "The Smell of the Kill" and it involved three couples who dined together once a month at each others' houses.  As the play unfolds you quickly realize that the wives (the only ones ever seen on stage) are not as happy as they might be with their respective spouses.  When the man of the house shows off his new $8,000 meat locker that he has had installed in the basement to store the deer, rabbits, etc. that he hunts, he and the other two husbands accidentally get locked inside.  The wives spend a very funny second act debating whether they should let the men out or not.  Do they or don't they?  I'm not telling.
