New Plays Festival: Timmy

by Megan Rivkin

It’s the early 2010’s, and a multigenerational family stuck at home in the suburbs is on the verge of killing each other. Alexa, the oldest daughter and an absolute nightmare, is hemorrhaging money funding her relationship with Timmy, a man she may or may not have met IRL. This show is NSFW.
