Drawn from David S. Kessler’s almost forty years experience as a small mammal biologist at the National Zoo and his fevered imagination, Wombat Drool is the fictional and amusing rants of a man more comfortable with animals than people. K. doesn’t hold anything back, as he weaves anecdotes from his personal life along with tales of birth, death, and even tortoise sex.
A version of Act II premiered at the 2015 Capital Fringe Festival. The play quickly sold out, and its run was extended. DC Theatre Scene called David S. Kessler “a joy to watch.”
Wombat Drool is a work of fiction. Resemblance to any animals – human or otherwise – is pure coincidence. No animals were harmed in the making of this production.
Run Time: 90 minutes without an intermission
This play is for ages 14 and up due to explicit language and scenes not suitable for younger children.
Wombat Drool is supported in part by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
