THE GODDESS OF FILTHY THINGS, 12 characters. A story inside a story inside a story inside a story. A dramatic labyrinth that attempts to bring the density of the novel and the fluidity of the movies to the stage. At its core—a mystery. What happened to Jerry Green, a writer? His daughter Jessica thinks if she can tell her father's story she'll find him and get him back. The only one who can help her is Jack, who, haunted by Jessica since she was a child, is writing a play about her—the play you're watching—about the obsessive nature and power of storytelling itself—what happens when a story seizes your imagination and becomes more real to you than your own life.
