Summary
When she's cast as the "last girl" in a low-budget slasher flick, Sheena thinks it's the big break she's been waiting for. But news of the movie unleashes her malingering mother's thwarted feminist rage, and Mom is prepared to do anything to stop filming...even if it kills her.

The hilarious hit of 2009's Humana Festival of New American Plays at the Actors Theater of Louisville.
