Get ready for a hilariously chaotic dive into small-town Southern life with Sordid Lives, the award-winning “black comedy about white trash” by Del Shores. When Peggy, the family matriarch, meets her untimely demise in a freak accident, her dysfunctional Texas family is forced to reunite for her funeral. What follows is a sidesplitting, heartwarming, and sometimes outrageous exploration of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.
With a colorful cast of characters—including a Tammy Wynette-obsessed drag queen, a Bible-thumping mother, and a barfly who’s seen it all—Sordid Lives serves up equal parts humor and humanity. Beneath the campy antics and outrageous situations lies a touching story about embracing who you truly are, no matter what the neighbors might say.
A cult classic with universal appeal, Sordid Lives promises an unforgettable evening of laughter, tears, and Southern charm.
Contains strong adult themes and language.
