In Arabia We'd All Be Kings by Stephen Adly Guirgis
Daisy abandons recently released ex-convict Lenny at their local. At the bar is Skank, a failed actor-turned-junkie. De Maris, a 17-year-old gun-brandishing single mother wants to learn to turn tricks. Guirgis presents a grim and sad portrait of life on the streets of New York.
