One-act play with music written by Patti Smith & Sam Shepard.

The scene opens in a run-down motel room, after one too many mornings. The floor is strewn with miscellaneous debris: hubcaps, raggedy costumes, an old .45, rum, beer, and white lighting. Cavale, "a chick who looks like a crow, is a partly crippled, former mental patient. She has kidnapped Slim, "a cat who looks like a coyote", from his wife and child, but they have fallen in love. To Cavale, rock and roll is religion and her one dream is to find a man who can turn into a rock and roll savior - a Jesus with a cowboy mouth. Slim, volatile and unfulfilled, once dreamt of being a rock and roll star but had given up on the idea. Until now.

The two characters play out their increasingly bizarre fantasies, unable to deal with their hopeless reality, culminating in the arrival of The Lobsterman, a drug-crazed hallucination, or a humble restaurant deliveryman, who visits the couple in their crazed love nest.

This staged reading will take place on Friday, August 26th at 7:30pm. Admission is complimentary.
