Synopsis

Slapstick presents an apocalyptic vision 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 Vonnegut's pen into  hilarious farce--a final slapstick that may be the  Almighty's joke on us all.
