Synopsis

Father's Prize Poland China exposes the madness of addicitons, jealousies, and strange bonds between rivaling sisters.

The psycho-farce takes place in the rural Southern kitchen of the Pulaski farmhouse and centers around the two Pulaski sisters: Pat, a wildly repressed fundamentalist; and Judy, a hard-drinking go-go dancer.

The two sisters play cat and mouse as they entangle each other in the murder of the local Don Juan, a waitress named Flo who looks a lot like their dead mother, their father's disappearance, and the slaying of his prized hog.

Press Reviews

"A comedy about crimes of the swine...Sergent writes with a dark whimsy that suggests one of Beth Henley's eccentric families gone haywire."
— Richard Dodds, Theatre critic of Lagniapppe
