Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision as seen through the eyes of the current King of Manhattan (and last President of the United States), a wickedly irreverent look at the all-too-possible results of today`s follies. But even the end of life-as-we-know-it is transformed by Kurt Vonnegut`s pen into hilarious farce - a final slapstick that may be the Almighty`s joke on us all.
