Reckless

Reckless by Craig Lucas
Performances December 6th – December 9th inclusive, Assembly Roxy beginning at 7:30pm

Christmas.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Or is it?

Rachel certainly used to think so. At least she did until her husband Tom confessed on Christmas Eve that it isn’t Santa Claus she hears breaking in but a hitman he’s hired to kill her.

So she better run.
Now.

And run she does, plunging herself into a labyrinth of murder, embezzlement, faked disabilities, game shows and a never-ending stream of psychiatrists. In the end, will Rachel survive this pitch black comedy by Craig Lucas? And more importantly will her love of Christmas?

“Is anyone back from the robbery yet?”

When criminal mastermind Professor Marcus and a motley crew of misfits pose as amateur musicians to rent rooms from the sweetly eccentric Mrs. Wilberforce, the police have no idea that they’re planning a daring bank robbery. But Mrs. Wilberforce is not so easily deceived.
