Something strange is happening in the small town of Faith. An unexplained phenomenon in the middle of a pine forest turns neighbor against neighbor, order into chaos, and weird...into weirder.

Blue is forced away from his party-monster life to find his twin brother, Skinny, who missed an important doctor’s appointment in the city. He’s sick and won’t get better—especially if he keeps smoking on the low. As Blue tries to take care of Skinny, they both find themselves attracted to the elusive and surreal Poet next door who brings meaning back into their lives as death approaches.

Laterality, a poetic play told in a Prologue and two Losses, takes place inside the surreal, tough, and intimate world that comes into being when a life’s about to end.

The nation has never been healthier. Crime is down. Streets are clean. Civility reigns. But out of the corner of your eye, you might catch a glimpse of the men keeping things orderly. In a series of brief, enigmatic scenes, two women take us into the heart of a nation that has been disciplined by violence.
