The Academic
Written/directed by Justin Locklear
Film direction by Josh David Jordan
March 16-19 and 23-26, 2022
With brilliant performances by Jeff Burleson and Olivia de Guzman, Locklear presented an absurdist dark comedy about the unravelling façade of a pretentious professor/author’s status in the presence of his cheerfully cynical wife. Bouncing along with buoyant and bizarre wordplay, THE ACADEMIC ultimately pits the couple against each other, obliterating the very ruse that keeps their lives afloat.
