Description

See in my opinion there are two types of people in the world. There are people who actually do something with their lives Who have some kind of values or something And then there are people like you. A small town. Today. Following a long incarceration, Andy returns to her hometown to restart her life. After securing a job at the local slaughterhouse, the challenges of reentry unfold as she reconnects with her teenage son, B, a staunch vegetarian with a life he's unwilling to share with his mother. Writer Abe Koogler has written a funny, surprising and moving search for connection in modern America. Kill Floor received its world premiere at New York's LCT3/Lincoln Center Theater in October 2015 and played at American Theatre Company, Chicago, from March 2016.

Reviews

Kill Floor . . . never strikes a false or strained note as Mr. Koogler observes the awkward cut-and-thrust of the relationships among the characters . . . Fine writing * New York Times *
