Alley Company Artist and Pulitzer finalist Rajiv Joseph (Gruesome Playground Injuries, World Premiere at the Alley October 2009) returns with a psychological thriller that pits the corporate world against a 21st century artist in a violent and wickedly funny play about a woman with a paintbrush and a man with a spreadsheet. World-renowned artist Maya Akhet is commissioned by a global securities firm to create a painting for the lobby of their world headquarters. She loses her head, stops taking her medication, outwits the corporation's lawyers and begins to wreak havoc in her studio with a sawed-off shotgun. Unfortunately for her, removing the beast's head doesn't always kill the body. Profanity, violence, adult situations. Recommended for mature audiences.
