Inspired by true events, HEART THROB is a play about grief, love and chance. At the site of a horrific triple murder, a family forms out of a shell-shocked teenage boy, his well-meaning girlfriend and the couple who bought his house. The macabre tone is alleviated by infrared vision, scratch cards and a dead moose -- elements of surrealism and poetry infused into an event too realistic to believe.
'Heart Throb' will be presented as part of Nine Fifty-Eight's workshop reading series at Rancho Relaxo on August 11th 2008.
