Shoe Fits Productions presents the World Premiere of THE LADY IN SHOES FROM HELL

It's the early 1950s and Thelma, a penniless waitress works tables in a coffee shop on a lonesome highway in west Texas. Disappointed in her tip, she murders a handsome drifter, steals his pick-up truck, and sets off in search of 'the right pair of shoes'. Hot on her trail, the State highway patrol pursues but during a high-speed car chase, the waitress skids off the road and dies in a grizzly fire-ball. Or does she?

In a landscape of dust, heat, and tumbleweed-in a series of harrowingly funny scenes-Thelma mates with and murders her lovers across three states, all the time escaping punishment as she races against Time to reach a secret test site at Los Alamos for a rendezvous with an atomic blast!

RoseMary Doyle, as Thelma, explains "The Lady in Shoes from Hell explores the bedmate relationship of Good and Evil. Burke Campbell has penned an explosive mystery/thriller. The Lady in Shoes from Hell, takes the audience on a dangerous joy ride across the arid terrain of the Southwest into the mind of a possessed woman, packing a pencil! Who could turn down a role like that??"

The Lady in Shoes from Hell: a play about sex, violence, and Satanic footwear!
