Pussy Sludge

by Gracie Gardner

There's a woman menstruating crude oil. She lives in a swamp. She's in love with Courtney, but her mother prefers RJ. No one knows who knows what's best. Pussy Sludge is a tender exploration of questioning authority, suspending shame through intimacy, and very bad advice.

    Raw, funny and relentlessly truthful, this play is necessary theatre not only for the honesty it shares about being a woman, but also for the catharsis it brings.
