 Sordid Lives

Sordid Lives
by Del Shores
Directed by Kirk Larson
Produced by Lori A. Marple-Pereslete and Virginia Mekkelson
July 11 – August 16, 2014
at the Westchester Playhouse
Sordid Lives premiered in Los Angeles on May 11, 1996 and ultimately won 14 DramaLogue Awards. The black comedy about white trash centers on a colorful family from a small Texas town who must come to grips with the accidental death of the elderly family matriarch during her clandestine meeting in a seedy motel room with a much younger, married neighbor. The woman’s family must deal with their own demons while preparing for what could be an embarrassing funeral. Adult language.
