A tragicomedy on oppression.
At this comedy's opening we find a mild-mannered, scatty-scholar teaching his bright-eyed, bonne-élève student that 1+1=2. When the innocent pupil begins to displease her tutor, the pedagogue turns on her, becoming a bullying tyrant, a ferocious animal bent on her destruction.
"50s Absurdism meets 90s in-yer-face apocalypticism." - Time Out
