Play :: Claire awakens one morning as she always does - with no memory of the previous events of her life. Her husband hands her a scrapbook filled with all sorts of essential information, then disappears into the shower. A limping, lisping, half-deaf man pops out from under her bed and claims to be her brother, there to save her. Claire's information book is quickly discarded and she is hustled off to the country home of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to gibberish. The journey gets even more complicated when a dimwitted thug with a foul-mouthed hand puppet appears at a window, and her driven husband and perpetually-stoned son show up in the company of a claustrophobic lady cop whom they have kidnapped. Every twist and turn in this fun house plot brings Claire closer to a revelation of her past life and everything she thought she had forgotten. NOTE: This play contains adult language.
