Sordid Lives

Get ready for a hilariously chaotic dive into small-town Southern life with Sordid Lives, the award-winning “black comedy about white trash” by Del Shores. When Peggy, the family matriarch, meets her untimely demise in a freak accident, her dysfunctional Texas family is forced to reunite for her funeral. What follows is a sidesplitting, heartwarming, and sometimes outrageous exploration of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

With a colorful cast of characters—including a Tammy Wynette-obsessed drag queen, a Bible-thumping mother, and a barfly who’s seen it all—Sordid Lives serves up equal parts humor and humanity. Beneath the campy antics and outrageous situations lies a touching story about embracing who you truly are, no matter what the neighbors might say.

A cult classic with universal appeal, Sordid Lives promises an unforgettable evening of laughter, tears, and Southern charm.

Contains strong adult themes and language.

SORDID LIVES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
