In this filthy, lonely city, some secrets just can't stay hidden.
She's a private dick who's seen it all. He's a blonde bombshell waiting to explode. RIP ME OPEN follows two wise-cracking, desperate souls as they investigate a strange sexual act in a case of threatened violence and psychosexual intrigue. Drawing on influences ranging from classic film noir to Dennis Cooper and Haruki Murakami, it combines pulse-pounding mystery with crackling comedic dialogue and several original songs.
Comedian/performers Desiree Burch and Michael Cyril Creighton star in this darkly funny world premiere play, created and developed with director/playwright Brian Mullin and OBIE Award-winning playwright/songwriter Kyle Jarrow.
