CRAP CRAP CRAP; or everything I don't want to be at 40
Marta's near estrangement from her sister doesn't bother her, until that sister
shows up on her door step - bags and daughter in hand - looking for a place to
hang her hat, while she finishes her divorce. But sometimes close quarters make
for even stranger sisters. Marta and Lou grow back together through the watchful
lens of daughter Alexis' camera. Sometimes reflecting, sometimes deflecting and
sometimes mimicking, Alexis rides in the way backseat to Marta and Lou's
schemes, sarcasm, silence and imaginary boyfriends. Alexis fights against
everything she doesn't want to be at 40, with swear jars, crickets and finally public
displays of art.
3 women, 1.5 sets.
Received a staged reading on August 1, 2011 at 2pm and 7pm at the Studio @
