Whore
“This is no bedtime story.”
Trapped in a dangerous loop of bad luck and cheap motels, and under constant threat from her volatile pimp, prostitute Liz guides the audience through a high-stakes night on the streets. Through fourth-wall-breaking confessionals and gritty flashbacks, she reveals how she—a desperate mother—ended up selling her body to survive.
