Funhouse 1986

Directed by Jo Bonney

"Welcome to the Freak Show" is a refrain in the Funhouse: a claustrophobically small, dark room in which Eric Bogosian's furious series of monologues plays out. The flipside of the American Dream, the dark underbelly of post-Vietnam masculinity, the outcasts and the repugnant insiders all around us: Bogosian is savage on the state we are in.
