Created, designed and performed by local artists, this play tells the story of a happily married straight woman and gay man who shoot their crying infant because it was distracting them from some uncommonly good sex. It is certainly dark, extremely funny and undoubtably irreverent. This play examines the power and unpredictability of true love, while pegging it against the destructive lure of media attention, fame and widespread public acceptance. And just to keep things moving along there’s plenty of swearing, sex, cross-dressing, drug use and electrocution for everyone to enjoy.

Absurd, modern and fantastical, this play realizes the desire in all of us to forgo and escape our own responsibilities in favor of something a little further down the rabbit hole. Leah summons a doppelganger in order to shirk her responsibilities, only to find herself locked in a cell and being prepared for sacrifice, leaving her friends back home in terrible danger. A demon is involved, as well as some cannibalism (depending on what your rules are). With a semi-interactive set, a visible Twitter feed and local music, this play is exciting, strange and engrossing.
