Two-Headed
by Julie Jensen
Utah, 1857: 127 West-bound pioneers die in the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The mass murder haunts Mormon daughters Lavinia and Hettie as they grow from friends, to mothers, to sister-wives. Tethered to their polygamous doctrine and to the men who killed in its name, can the women reconcile their faith with the truth?
“Ms. Jensen’s two heads make an elegant and meaningful whole…a gentle, poetic allure…” -The New York Times
“Jensen’s intelligently unadorned voice is one worth listening to, now and in the future.” -Off-Broadway Review
Directed by Becky Webber
Featuring Kara Manson and SerahRose Roth
