What is Fuddy Meers? What does it mean? Is it a concept? A person's name, perhaps a long lost relative of Elmer Fudd? What do those words signify? What is the play about?

I don't want you to know. I think you will be better off if you don't.

This is a show that needs to be experienced above all else, and I don't want to tell you anything about it until you see it.

You know how American Beauty teased you with ideas and concepts that you identified with, in sort of f****d up and bizarre but beautiful ways? You know how "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas" never made any sense, and you didn't know if it was real or a concept or a drug trip or what? You know how in the Sixth Sense you went to watch a movie about ghosts but ended up seeing a film that touched on deeper issues of death, dying, love, and regret? Do you love being caught by surprise, laughing your ass off, struggling to figure out what is going on, and being hit over the head with a truth sandwhich so hard it hurts?

It's like that.

You won't know what's going on. It is hilarious. It might make you cry. It is symbolic. It is meaningless. It is awesome.

Go see Fuddy Meers.
