    From the author of "Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got the Will?" comes this hilarious tale of loss, love and white trash etiquette in a small Texas town... "Sordid Lives" is a black comedy about white trash. Sissy is trying to quit smoking, Mama has just died an accidental death during a clandestine meeting in a seedy motel room with her much younger, married neighbor and Brother Boy has been locked up in the mental institution because he thinks he's Tammy Wynette...and you thought you had problems. "Sordid Lives" is a gossipin', pill-poppin', honky-tonkyin', gun totin', motorcycle ridin' laugh a minute farce of twisted lives, death, tears, infidelity and other comic events by playwright Del Shores. Directed by Frank Benge.

          This play was surprisingly good. The players and the story were very entertaining. I was laughing nearly the whole time. Although it is pretty easy to make fun of white trash, they did a great job.
