“All persons and events depicted in this story are fictitious. Any resemblance to real events or persons is strictly coincidental.”

 

This disclaimer begins the story of Lisa, a fifteen year old girl, and her marriage to Clint, an ex-con twice her age. Systematically abused by her husband, Lisa is coerced into helping him commit crimes of varying magnitude, including murder. The play bravely examines moral codes, sexual abuse, love, poverty and the value of a human life.
