EndTimes Productions is proud to present, “Easy Outs, or the Adventures of Alphonse on the Lam”, an unpublished, lost work by stand-up comic, and television writer, Chip Keyes, not seen in New York since 1977. Set in 1969, at the height of the Viet Nam war,
“Easy Outs” tells the story of Alphonse, a young man who dodges the draft, and goes off looking for an alternative to America. When Alphonse rows off to “a small, neutral, peace-loving country, to become a simple craftsman”, he is promptly drafted into their small, neutral, peace-loving army. Upon his escape, he becomes the unwitting figurehead for a homegrown revolution, whose results are more horrific than he could have imagined.
