SORDID LIVES Runs Through 2/21 At Rising Action Theatre
Fort Lauderdale's Rising Action Theatre presents Del Shore's black comedy about white trash, SORDID LIVES.
SORDID LIVES opened on Friday, January 15th. Performances are scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm and Sunday nights at 7 pm through February 21st.
A black comedy by Del Shores (Southern Baptist Sissies, Queer as Folk), SORDID LIVES is about small minds in small town Texas, complete with cross-dressing "Brother Boy" and his obsession with country singer Tammy Wynette. SORDID LIVES was nominated for over thirty awards (and won 14 Dramalogue Awards) during its long run in Los Angeles and went on to become a movie. SORDID LIVES has recently been translated to the small screen and become a hit TV series on Logo starring Rue McClanahan.
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.
Says the L.A. Times of the piece: "[This play by] the master of Texas Comedy, Del Shores has colorful eccentrics teetering on a Bowie knife's edge between the hilariously improbable and the achingly real." L.A. Weekly named it "Pick of the Week."
