What separates perfectly decent people from monsters? In Neil LaButes bash: latterday plays, the answer is just a few thoughts...

In iphigenia in orem, a young businessman (Max Bennett-Parker) reveals a chilling secret to a drunken stranger. A young mormon couple (Robert Gerbode and Maddy Welty) separately recounts the events surrounding a weekend in New York City in a gaggle of saints. In medea redux, a single mother (Morgan Peters) relates the complex history of her relationship with her seventh grade teacher. Weaving together the works of Euripides, traditional oral storytelling, and sharp modern vernacular, this arresting trio of interrelated one act plays strips away the wholesome veneer of Middle America, and reveals a sinister and thorny inner life that will leave audiences breathless.
