A black comedy about white trash! The author of Daddy’s Dyin’ (Who’s Got the Will?) brings you a comedy that was nominated for over thirty awards during its long run in Los Angeles. When Peggy, a good Christian woman, hits her head on the sink and bleeds to death after tripping over her lover’s wooden legs in a motel room, chaos erupts in Winters, Texas. “His colorful eccentrics are dead on, teetering on a Bowie knife’s edge between the hilarious improbable and the achingly real.” – L.A. Times.

 

Director’s Notes

 

When Mickey asked me if I might be interested in directing Sordid Lives, he said: “It’s so funny. I think this is a perfect match for your sense of humor.” And he was right. This play is hysterically funny… and it is so much more. The characters are achingly real, and the themes are universal: dirty little secrets, family dynamics, denial, betrayal, redemption and forgiveness. Ultimately doesn’t it all come down to love? One of the things that I find most motivating as an artist is the opportunity to be a voice for those who have no voice. I saw a t-shirt the other day that said: “Tell the truth, even if your voice shakes.” So here’s a little prayer for the courage to tell the truth, for the courage to hear the truth, and for the love to embrace the truth. I dedicate my work on this project to Chaz Bono… and his inspiring courage.
