Slasher is way too bold and bright to pity as a whore. Kitchen Dog Theater’s production of Alison Moore’s national stage hit is more of a bright-eyed, new ‘recruit on the street’ type of play, a saucy tart oozing charm and redemptive qualities in flashing neon-lit burn. Moore’s high dudgeon farce weaves two close-hooked [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sjamaanka.wordpress.com&blog=4879131&post=705&subd=sjamaanka&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
