Overview

This winner of the American College Theatre Festival Award is a nightmarish and surreal black comedy about child abuse and the horrors of suburban living. Esther has a husband who can't stand her, a baby she can't relate to and a sister in prison. She reacts to the bleakness of her life by cruising the grocery store to pick up women. Esther's descent into comic madness is chronicled in fourteen fragmented scenes in which nothing is sacred. In Award Winning Plays
