    This dark comedy tells the story of six hard-edged and desperate women at the turn-of-the-century who will stop at nothing to befriend, con, swindle, or kill a seventh woman—the mythological figure known as The Pedestrian Bill Souse. Nothing is quite what it appears on the surface as genders get bent, identities turn inside-out, con after con falls apart, the gloves come off, and Bill Souse’s multiple layers get peeled away, revealing the extraordinary human being under it all.

    “…the mix of voices creates an appealing, comic dissonance that plays into Mr. Cucuzza's endearingly silly side” 

    — Jason Zinoman, The New York Times

     

    “…Cucuzza’s elaborate little con game actually pulls a fast one, hiding a cracking new drama in an acting-lab presentation.”  “[his] verbiage comes thick, fast and dirty…like a Deadwood episode written by Borges”
    — Helen Shaw, TimeOut NY
