Two men on the edge of sanity discover an enigmatic internet personality quiz. They thought it would be funny, because he only has one middle name: Seymour. But then they got in too deep. FAR too deep. 

Watch them descend into an internet rabbit hole they might never climb back out of, and their attempt to defeat their ultimate nemesis and architect of the quiz, the mysterious Doug Pickle. 

Through the lenses of Absurdism and Dadaism, this play explores our modern day relationship with the internet: a place where even the most well-meaning minds can get sucked into the world of high-stakes emotions, half-truths, and endless streams of sheer content.
