Reckless

12th Ave Arts
1620 12th Ave. Seattle

Rachel Fitzsimmons adores Christmas: the carols on the radio, giving gifts, the sound and smell of snow. She is absolutely euphoric one Christmas Eve until her husband Tom confesses he's taken a contract out on her life. This news forces Rachel to flee their cozy suburban home and plunge into Reckless real life, which includes murder, embezzlement, psychiatric sessions, appearances on a humiliating quiz show, and strange new friends. This comic take on some dark subjects -- pain, loss, alienation and the general chaos of the universe -- unspools at 12th Ave Arts Theatre in Seattle.
