Criminal Genius

George Walker?s Criminal Genius immediately thrusts the audience into the madcap lives of Rolly and Stevie Moore, a pair of inept, petty criminals, as they wait in their hotel room for the ominous entrance of their fiery boss Shirley ?The Pearl? Katakis. The characters involved, along with the drunken owner-manager of the motel, find themselves serving as the catalysts for an imminent showdown with the local head mafia boss. The more the Moore?s try to dig themselves free of their predicament, the wilder their lives careen out of control. The pace of the dialogue captivates the audience as the characters sear towards their fate. The play addresses the question of Western ideas concerning morality, security, and love that are both ancient and as relevant as today?s headlines.
