“Cannibalism? No problem. In marriage we share things
So pass me cervix seviche with crème de le’ larynx”
The Blame Game, Part 2
A short play written as the second act
Of Corey Ann Haydu’s short play of the same name
As part of Impetuous Theater Group’s 47:59 Festival
Characters
Kira/Nancy: A complicated woman married to a cannibal, speaks in rhymed verse
Chris/Cork: The cannibal, prefers hip-hop to verse

Synopsis: An unhappily married couple overcomes their differences (cannibalism, sibling murder) through hip-hop and rhyming verse, aided by a therapist couple with some secrets of their own. Written as a riff on several plays as part of the 47:59 festival, it may be the weirdest thing I’ve ever written.
