Description
No Cure for Cancer is an uproarious and lacerating meditation on life--and death--by a celebrated new voice on the performance scene. Based on writer-performer Denis Leary's hit Off-Broadway show, this rapid-fire monologue sends up society and its ills--disease, drugs, crime, junk culture, the recovery movement, pious political correctness, urban life, and above all, our fear of mortality--with wicked satire and insight.
