The Dentist

Friday, March 1 - Saturday, March 2, 2024

“I am an instrument of perfection and hygiene, the enemy of decay and corruption. A dentist. And I have a lot of work to do.”

IT’S TIME FOR YOUR FINAL APPOINTMENT…

Dr Alan Feinstone is a Beverly Hills dentist. He’s rich, successful, has a beautiful wife and a palatial home. There’s just one problem – Dr. Feinstone is mad about perfection. Everything in his world, from his wardrobe to his marriage, has to be as clean, neat and orderly as a row of perfect teeth and when one fateful day things aren’t just so, the good doctor turns nasty… very, very nasty. Obsessed by the imperfections he suddenly sees all around him – a dirty shirt, a flirty wife, an impatient patient – Feinstone grows ever more demented.
