Monsters

Jeremy and Davis are convinced that they've finally done it — they've plotted out how to commit the perfect crime. Of course the brothers have concealed their plans and intentions from everyone, but they overlooked one key factor: When your wife finds a man tied up in her basement, she's gonna start asking questions. Local actor and playwright Stephen Peirick's new comic-thriller Monsters explores what happens when would-be master criminals forget that you can never fool your wife. Monsters is performed at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday (June 8 to 24) at the Tower Grove Abbey (2336 Tennessee Avenue; www.straydogtheatre.org). Tickets are $25.
