Suck-face

(an apocalyptic musical)

 

Welcome to the party to end all parties - where Blasko Tupper, teenage master of the dark arts has just kidnapped her entire school – including Motor-mouth and Suck-face, two geeks in lust and love who have until midnight to lose their virginity, escape through a cosmic wormhole and save the planet – in the other dimension.
