The most comendable element of Gnaw and Order -- a show overflowing with elements deserving of commendation -- is their commitment to their message. Though never heavy handed, Rat Acad 2 is not afraid to make a statement (somehow making an Anthony Bourdain quote deeply provocative -- a feat in and of itself). They masterfully balance humour with pathos throughout.

A contender for best of fest, in my opinion.
