WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
THEAPRODUCTIONS presents a new dark comedy by Catherine Filloux, Killing the Boss,
directed by Jean Randich.
The play is about an altruistic woman's unexpected transformation into a vigilante. It follows Eve -- a typically peaceful American playwright with a grant to work in a nuthouse of a country -- as she plots to assassinate the country's head of state a.k.a. The Boss out of fury, frustration and addiction to her fight against social injustice.
