Assassins. Vultures. Cannibals. These are just a few of the lowly characters featured in Tympanic's upcoming evening of explosive new work. With a colorful cast of killers, misfits, and just about every other offbeat outcast under the sun, there eight world premieres explore the horror, comedy, and humanity found in the most surreal dregs of society. Often twisted, often hilarious, and always armed to the teeth, Bastards of Young is a night of short plays unlike any other.
