About me: The play is a Texas noir set to music. A sister and brother, orphaned by the Texas justice system, plot to kill the executioner who stuck the needle in their mother's arm. A local sheriff is hot on their tail, but as she works her way to cornering her prey, she finds she must choose: her love for the sister or her duty to stop their crimes.

A selection of The 8th Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival, The Executioner interrogates the values of modern America through an investigation of the death penalty, unrequited lesbian love, and cherry pie.
