By times poetic, hilarious, and touching, this one-man tour-de-force introduces us to Nash, a little nothing of a man, who suddenly discovers, while wandering through the woods, that he’s sinking into a large mud puddle! Unable to escape, he calmly, deliberately - with very little desperation at all, mind you! - attempts to keep his spirits up, by holding a pretend press conference, describing his incredible escape. Wending from calmly reasoning his way out, to the depths of existential angst, to a very odd encounter with a helpful bird, Nash’s inspiring story will make you laugh, make you think, and, above all, make you watch where you step!
