A florist must impersonate notorious hitman Axel Harrison for 60 minutes…after resourcefully strangling the real Axel with a telephone cord in scene one. As long as he doesn’t take out another contract on the scapegoat that the bent cop nailed for his own murder, or fall for the loan shark’s daughter, or make eye contact with his unhinged goon, nobody should see through the fake moustache. Not Axel Harrison is a fast paced, tightly woven, relentlessly funny homage to every gangster flick. Razor sharp dialogue propels the play through its many twists and turns, as the larger than life characters dig their own graves.
