A Welcome Guest: A Psychotic Fairy Tale

by Michael Weller
World Premiere / Directed by Ed Herendeen

A guest comes to stay in your home. You discover he has permission from the authorities to live there indefinitely. Then you learn that he somehow owns your house and you’re his guest. That’s not right. But are the authorities ever wrong? Sometimes you just have to take things into your own hands. And if someone gets hurt, well, it’s not the end of the world… or is it? A Welcome Guest explores intolerance, insanity, and how beautiful it is to know that underneath we’re all one big happy family, for better or (possibly) for worse.

“Sugarbun, let’s play that game where you have a thought in your head and you hide it in silence so no one can find it ever.”
