About the Play 
Successful lawyer, fiery activist and self-described “bedpan crip” Elora Dixon uses a well-aimed banana cream pie to protest a public appearance by Julian Walker, a celebrity champion of the right-to-die movement. But this first meeting of two passionate souls on opposite sides of a painfully divisive issue has consequences that neither has anticipated.
