In the lounge Queen for a Day Desperate Nightmares from Christ the King, Missouri
About This Show
Frustrated 1950s housewife Judy Brown feels trapped in a life of so-called “domestic bliss.” When her husband brings home a new Westinghouse TV to cheer her up, she becomes obsessed with “Queen for a Day”, a show where the woman with the biggest sob story wins. She decides she will be crowned queen, no matter the cost to herself and her loved ones. Come find out just how far Judy is willing to go in this special live presentation of the “undeniably alluring” podcast Desperate Nightmares from Christ the King, Missouri.
