"[The play starts in the dark.]
Scene: � CAVALE has kidnapped SLIM off the streets with an old .45. (She wants to make him into a rock-and-roll star, but they fall in love. We find them after one too many mornings. They’re both mean as snakes. SLIM is charging around screaming words; CAVALE is rummaging through junk, yelling with a cracked throat. The lights come up on them in this state.)" — Nov 23, 2014 08:26AM
