SYNOPSIS
When Shirley Shamboni’s dream salon goes up in smoke due to a surprise explosion, a series of petty criminal dominoes begin to fall in her Dyker Heights neighborhood. Before she knows what hit her, Shirley and her gender nonbinary partner Mia are hot on the tail of Shirley’s wily mother Adele, who has – as usual – mixed in her daughter’s business uninvited. What follows is a homage to 1980s film comedic crime dramas, but told in the present day from a uniquely queer/non-binary perspective. The “man’s world” of NYC’s underworld is explored through a new lens, rattling its misogyny and staid tropes to their core.
