Description



About the Book



This dark, fast-paced comedy by the author of Punch Up and Mustard traces the responsibility artists bear in storytelling and the impact of what it means to be inspired by true events.



Book Synopsis



Lila, a Black cop, has been on leave from the police force ever since she shot an unarmed Black man. She's moved back in with her mother, Karen, and is drinking beer for breakfast. So when Tim, a white playwright, shows up at her door to casually inform her that his play inspired by her experience is being adapted into a movie, Lila's trauma is dragged out for speculation once again. The star of the film, his body guard, and Karen are dragged into the fight, leading to an epic metatheatrical standoff in a living room play about a living room play about gun violence, police, art, and appropriation.



Review Quotes




"Sandler's explosive new play takes current issues like police violence against Black men, voice appropriation, mental illness and white male privilege and combines them to make a dramatically charged and very funny show." --Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine
