A modern myth about twin sisters who sojourn from the Dirty South to the California desert to exact righteous revenge. The sisters are seeking justice and ready to take down anyone who stands in their way. Aleshea Harris collides the ancient, the modern, the tragic, the Spaghetti Western, and Afropunk in this darkly funny and unapologetic new play.
