torso (co-production with printer’s devil theater)


March 9th - 31st, Thurs-Sat, 8pm


Printer’s Devil Theater presents the world premiere of Keri Healey's new full-length play, Torso, an emotional exploration of grief and revenge, by Keri Healey (writer of Cherry Cherry Lemon, The Ikea Cycle; Tiny Domestic Dramas, and Don’t You Dare Love Me).

Steeped in grief after the wrongful death of her sister, Daphne Maas learns that a childhood friend has been arrested for a shocking crime back in her family’s Midwestern hometown. Daphne sets off on a desperate investigation to find out what happened and why —and along the way, finds that her own longing for the settling of scores can’t be ignored.

The play explores the parallel stories of Daphne and her childhood friend, Marlo. As Daphne grapples with feelings of helplessness at the loss of her sister, we see the family dynamics that drive Marlo to turn her own feelings of frustration and betrayal into violence. As these two struggles unfold, we learn what happens when grief turns into blame and talk turns into action. We discover how thin is the line between those who think dark thoughts and those who act on them.
