ABOUT THE PLAY
Set in a seedy Oklahoma City motel room, the play centers on the meeting between Agnes, a divorced waitress with a fondness for cocaine and isolation, and Peter, a soft-spoken Gulf War drifter introduced to her by her lesbian friend, R.C. Agnes stays at a hotel in hopes of avoiding her physically abusive ex-husband, Jerry, who was just released from prison. Their fears soon escalate to paranoia, conspiracy theories and twisted psychological motives. The play was also developed into a movie in 2006 featuring Ashely Judd and Michael Shannon.
