A surrealistic exploration of the pleasures and pains of addiction, The Qualification of Douglas Evans recounts the life of playwright Douglas Evans and his pursuit of acceptance in a warped world of women, family and art. From his trials as a wide-eyed teenager to his descent into the ills of artistic success, this is a coming-of-age tale of rock bottoms, bright skies and the will to rise above one’s inner animal.
Starring:
Derek Ahonen | Penny Bittone | Mandy Nicole Moore | Agatha Nowicki | Samantha Strelitz | Kelley Swindall | Barbara Weetman
“The amoralists transform old wine (boozing author) into a heady brew”
“Ahonen’s tightly knit episodic drama treats alcoholism as the complicated affiliation it is.”
“It’s all very insightful, upsetting, freakishly weird, thought-provoking, and damn entertaining. ANOTHER TRIUMPHANT FOR THE AMORALISTS. ”
“The amoralists… head toward a new maturity and a willingness to continue breaking new ground and exploring uncharted territory. DEMANDS TO BE SEEN”
