When your best friend is dating a serial killer…do you tell her if she seems happy?

Thelma and Louise meets The First Wives Club in this biting comedy. Divorcées Mary, Jo, and Liz are best friends, always looking out for each other. So when Mary and Jo start to suspect that Liz’s new boyfriend is a serial killer, they begin an investigation to prove it to her and save her life. But when they bring in Liz’s teenage daughter Amanda into it, along with her spaced-out boyfriend Trenner, things go from humorously tricky to hilariously complex.
Wendy MacLeod is the author of The House of Yes (Miramax Films starring Parker Posey) as well as Schoolgirl Figure (world premiere at The Goodman) and Things Being What They Are (Steppenwolf).

“Pitch-perfect…a comedy romp!” (Boston Stages)
“The laughs come fast and furious…modern, lively, and loads of fun!” (Boston Globe)

During these troubling times, we recognize that art is more vital than ever in helping us share our collective stories. And yet, it is also a time when creating and sharing that art has become more difficult.
