CAN YOU FORGIVE HER?

BY GINA GIONFRIDDO
DIRECTED BY PETER DuBOIS

with ESHAN BAY, ELLA DERSHOWITZ, DARREN PETTIE, AMBER TAMBLYN, FRANK WOOD

Itā€™s Halloween night, and Miranda is desperate for a way out. Sheā€™s drowning in debt, may be falling for the man who pays her bills, and is on the run from her date who has threatened to kill her. When Graham and his fiancĆ© Tanya offer her a safe haven, a door opens, for all of themā€¦ but is the promise of a better life a treat or a trick? Two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Gina Gionfriddo (The Vineyardā€™s AFTER ASHLEY; BECKY SHAW; RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN) brings her unforgettable dark humor to this timely, ferociously funny story of lost souls grappling with emotional and financial dependence, and the costs of the American Dream.
