Man Cave, a One-Man Sci-Fi Climate Change Tragicomedy, Volume II

Six years ago, Tim Mooney brought “Man Cave; a One-Man Comic Sci-Fi Thriller” to the Rogue Theatre Festival. “Man Cave” featured “the last man on Earth, broadcasting to whatever Klingons, Vulcans or Tralfamadorians might still be listening.”

Those who lived through Rogue 2020 may remember a “pandemic” just after the first weekend of performances. Mooney notes, “Everything was on the brink of shut-down, but for those few who still came out, a play about the end of the world seemed astonishingly on target!”

Six years later, Tim is bringing the Original “Man Cave” back to Fresno, along with its new companion piece, “Man Cave II”!

Tim notes, “I wanted to give the folks who missed the first a chance to “catch up” before launching into the next chapter. Some may remember that play’s ending and wonder ‘Where could this possibly go next?’ Well the events of the last five years, and particularly the recent election gave new life to the idea.

“’Man Cave II’ is still a one-man show, with myself playing that ‘one-man,’ performed in the same location and motif as the original, but this time as a somewhat different ‘man.’ While the first explored how the world got into the climate conundrum, this second show widens the lens a little further.’

“Oh, and it’s also still a comedy… or, a ‘tragicomedy!'”

The original “Man Cave” drew rave reviews at festivals through the U.S. and Canada, including Rebecca Potts’ (Kings River Life) noting “His acting technique keeps you captivated throughout.”

Tim will be bringing BOTH “Man Caves” to the Rogue Fest, with performances of both shows on the first weekend of the festival (Feb 27-Mar 1)..

Tim Mooney, well known for his “Breakneck Shakespeare” series, brings this existential peek into the apocalyptic future. “Man Cave I” is rated “PG-13”) while Man Cave II (terrifying as it is) is for all audiences.
