Bring Us The Head of Your Daughter features Mara Lileas, Sarah Roy, Anna Stromberg and Jordan Tisdale.
According to the Amoralists, "Jackie and Contessa are far from the typical American family. One black, one Jewish, and both women, they have overcome years of alcoholism and self-doubt to remain loving partners. But when their absent daughter Garance is accused of cannibalism, their Gramercy Park apartment becomes a center of chaos. The phone rings relentlessly with bigoted threats, Contessa’s long-lost brother mysteriously reappears, and to top it all off, the alleged cannibal makes a grand entrance. Bring Us the Head of Your Daughter is a biting examination of an unconventional family and the outermost limits of familial love."
Here's a look at opening night:
