About the Play
Written by Bret Fetzer and Stephen McCandless
Directed by Elizabeth Hunter
Clubfoot: or, Tales from the Back of an Ambulance is the vivid, surreal and wildly funny rendering of an Emergency Medical Technician's experience. Jump in the ambulance and be transported into a tripwire world of stroked-out delusionals, car crash victims, flesh-eating bacteria and more! It's an outrageously skewed view of humanity at its best and worst: fragile, resilient and accident-prone!
