Summary
Factory Theater's darkly funny noirish thriller begins with a familiar premise: a shy straight arrow becomes enmeshed in the life of a dangerous, complicated woman with a shady past. But playwright Mike Beyer (who also cowrote the long-running 1995 hit White Trash Wedding and a Funeral) spins a story out of it so tight, so packed with twists, and so full of intense, eccentric Elmore Leonard-like characters that you never think about the plot's holes and outrageous coincidences. It helps that the show is well performed by its energetic four-member cast; Heather Tyler is particularly fine as the skittish, Barbara Stanwyck-esque femme fatale. --Jack Helbig
