Summary
Details

"""Erik Patterson's strange new play is one that takes you by surprise and ravishes you.""

-Rob Kendt, Backstage West

Elliot is lost in a world of sex workers-late night house calls from hustlers and phone calls with call girls. Becky is torn between two worlds-her day job as a stripper and being a mom to fifteen-year-old Rose (a Goth girl who wants nothing to do with her). And then there's Little B, who has stripped away every piece of herself until all she has left is her obsession with Icelandic pop singer Bjork. This troubled family's shared past holds unspeakable horrors and they must join forces if they ever want to heal.

WINNER, Backstage West Garland Award, Best Playwriting

FINALIST, PEN USA Literary Award
