Reckless

Rachel's seemingly perfect life is upended one Christmas Eve when her husband Tom announces he has taken a contract out on her life.

Rachel escapes and is rescued by social worker Lloyd, who brings her home to his deaf, mute, paraplegic wife Pooty. Rachel moves in with

the couple but the trio's tranquil existence dissolves the following Christmas, and Rachel and Lloyd find themselves on a cross-country odyssey

of self-discovery. Rachel ultimately finds herself in a homeless shelter run by Sister Margaret, who has her own share of dark secrets.

Die, Mommie, Die!

From the hilariously twisted mind of Charles Busch comes this comic melodrama. Inspired by the 1960’s “grande guignol” films that

featured aging stars such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner, former singer Angela Arden is trapped in a hateful marriage with film

producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository.

Angela’s daughter Edith convinces her emotionally disturbed brother that they must avenge their father’s death by killing their mother.
