MODERN TIMES is a comedy show that refracts the disorder of the democratic experiment through the lens of beloved discount retail chain Ross Dress for Less. Part standup, part degraded performance lecture, all stupid. A surreal and savagely funny portrait of consumerism, feminism, and the burdens of analytical thought.
