Monsoon Season
Written by Lizzie Vieh. Directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker. Starring Richard Thieriot and Therese Plaehn.
It’s monsoon season in Phoenix, Arizona, and recently separated couple Danny and Julia are spiraling into chaos.
A strip club’s flashing neon sign is keeping Danny awake at night, and Julia’s Adderall addiction has only gotten worse since her dealer moved in. Danny is suffering from micro-blackouts, while Julia keeps seeing a giant bird in her backyard. Is anyone watching their kid?
This demented romcom for a toxic world comes alive with writer Lizzie Vieh's biting humor and blinding insight.
"Two terrifically funny performances." The Scotsman.
"Perversely heartwarming! Lizzie Vieh is a vivid writer." The New York Times.
"A comedy so black, you might just feel guilty from laughing so hard." TheaterMania, Editor's Pick.
