Directions

Rita is the Goat is a fantastical re-imagining of a last will and testament reading. It detonates a sibling rivalry so intense, it literally raises the dead from their caskets. Written in a magical realist style filled with absurdities, that intertwine sexuality with religiosity and critiques on motherhood— “Rita” explores the themes of loss, survival, inheritance, cruelty and abusive ‘love.’
