Cellino v. Barnes

The law is a discipline that seems more suited for drama or reality TV, rather than comedy. But Michael Breen and David Rafailedes's Cellino v. Barnes, which follows two real-life personal injury attorneys, will have you howling at the duo’s absurd antics and brash bro-iness. Their famous jingle—“Cellino and Barnes, injury attorneys, 800-888-8888”—makes multiple appearances, of course, even including a blingy necklace emblazoned with the phone number. But what really shines in this dark comedic play is the thoughtful writing and the chemistry of the two actors, Eric William Morris and Noah Weisberg. In an 80-minute show with no intermission, this comedic duo make their case quickly. Our verdict: It’s guilty of being a hilarious success.
