Jack Rushton’s “The Wheelhouse” is smart, witty, and alarming. Set in an unnamed corporate meeting room, the play examines systems: how to manipulate them and the people in them. In this world, where a shadowy regime concentrates power in a few hands, everyone is expendable, and no one escapes the tentacles of a soulless technology: two employees wrestle for supremacy in a menacing meeting room where no one ever wins. A fascinating story that will keep audiences gnawing their nails. Highly recommended for evenings of shorts with a sharp bite.
