Ed and Mo Maggie Crane, Molly Bicks, Rat Queen Theatre Company
About This Show
Catholic school was wrong about hell. It’s not fire and brimstone or gnashing of teeth. Hell is Madison Wisconsin. Mo hates everything about Wisconsin: the people, the quiet, the cold, the psychiatric hospital where she works. Everything, that is, until she meets Ed, the blunt and kind-hearted patient with a dark and infamous past. Through bad jokes, imagining New York City with no humans in it, and writing letters to Frank Sinatra, the two form a bond that they share with no one else. From Catholicism to serial murder, Ed & Mo is a dark comedy that examines finding the people you never knew you needed.
