Fondren Theatre Workshop presents A VERY SORDID WEDDING by Del Shores, based on the film, A Very Sordid Wedding. It's 2015, seventeen years after Peggy tripped over G.W.s wooden legs and died in SORDID LIVES, and life has moved into the present for the residents of Winters, Texas. With same-sex marriage now the law of the land, Sissy Hickey is reading the Bible, cover to cover, trying to make some kind of sense out of what it really says about gay people. Her niece Latrelle's now out and proud gay son Ty is on his way back to town with news of his own. Tammy Wynette champion Brother Boy hasn't been back to Winters since Peggys funeral, and he's working at a tragic little gay bar in Longview, having added Loretta and Dolly to his new medley act, until a chance meeting with a dangerous criminal forces him out on the run. Again.
As the sordid saga continues, an anniversary memorial service is being planned in honor of Peggy at Bubbas Bar while the Southside Baptist Church is planning an "Anti-Equality Rally" to protest the advancement of same-sex marriage. Both events are to take place on the same night, so the cast of colorful characters, old and new, are all on a collision course for shenanigans and fireworks!
ADVISORY: THIS PLAY CONTAINS PROFANITY AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS AND HUMOR.
