Two Sizes Too Small is the story of Paul Langley, a successful investment banker who is confronted one morning by the unfathomable reality that all of his shoes have shrunk two sizes too small. When Paul begins to panic, his charming but thoroughly narcissistic mother sets out to save the day and meets a doctor who specializes in shoe and foot dysfunction. But when Paul begins taking his new medication, the side effects are catastrophic!

Review:

“Jessica Laurel Kane has done something marvelous. Inside her briskly paced, robust comedy she weaves a provocative meditation on the nature of freedom. From her absurdist plotting emerges an insightful metaphor of an individual resisting a pre-programmed way of life. Comparisons can surely be made to Ionesco’s work, but Kane writes and directs with a post-millenial optimism that is all her own.”
