First Day of School

Bag om First Day of School

A sly, funny, twisted, and surreal sex farce in which the parents of schoolchildren ponder how to spend a day free from work and the duties of parenthood. "Good sex comedy should surprise you with how long it can keep its premise up and satisfying. By that measure, Billy Aronson's new farce, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, is a humdinger. But it gets A's in other departments too, like playing well with others, and having something interesting to say when the panting stops." -Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian "... the rapid fire of witty dialogue and never wasting an opportunity for laughter ... FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL is an engaging and thoughtful comedy. What starts as a lighthearted subversion of suburban life slows its speed in the end and takes on a philosophical mood ..." -Jennafer McCabe, The Daily Californian "... a highly sophisticated sex farce that skewers middle-class suburbanites (we would have once called these characters 'yuppies') and their values. It is sly and witty and shifts from realism to surrealism at will. It has the kind of barb and bite that might be found in sources stretching from the plays of Molière to the novels of John Updike, and creates the sort of alternate reality found in Edward Albee's humorous satires. This is edgy, tricky stuff ..." -Punch Shaw, Star Telegram (Dallas)
