SYNOPSIS: In this satirical comedy, Marcy faces a “major life decision”; whether or not to bite her sandwich. The cafeteria erupts at her audacity-some warn her against it, others eagerly await the spectacle. No one is neutral. Betting breaks out, press coverage ensues, advice flies, and Marcy's romantic relationship dissolves, all over the fated sandwich decision. After the laughter subsides, audiences will be left thinking about the implications of this cafeteria melodrama. In this age of media saturation and reality television, are we really so far from the absurdity represented in “Marcy and the Sandwich?”
