The Bunker
A fast-moving comedy/drama about two brothers scrambling to put on a play about two brothers scrambling to put on a play about America. As the brothers — and the play — burrow deeper into their own dysfunction, they wrestle with what it means to be both a family and, by extension, American.

“The Bunker has all of Dockery’s trademarks — including being very, very funny and very, very good… Pulsing with an undercurrent of alarm, it’s about the volatile state of America, the pressure-cooker state of families and the importance of theater.”
Orlando Sentinel
“Loads of laughs... Both actors are excellent in this cyclical play that exposes each of the characters’ flaws and travels the bumpy road to brotherly reconciliation.”
Winnipeg Free Press
“Funny and smart… a road paved with a funny, anxious story about the nature of storytelling, of raising children in an ever-toxifying world, of politics both familial and national.”
City Pages, Rochester
“A mind-bending experience… It doesn’t take long for the audience to realize they are being manipulated by two very skilled performers and an even more skilled playwright... A home run.”
