Lily Ross has murdered her mother. In her prison cell Lily reflects on a past and future, both real and imagined, while her lover, Martha, searches for the motive. Gradually, as through a glass darkly, we begin to perceive the complex web of events-a mother and grandmother living off dreams and alcohol, a father enclosed in his world of butterflies, the older man she seduced on the beach when she was just fourteen-which leads Lily inexorably to her extreme act.

Butterfly Kiss is part of Next Theatre's Phyllis Nagy Project and will be performed in repertory with The Talented Mr. Ripley.
