Life Is Prickly
A darkly funny desert noir about marriage, murder, and a cactus who finally finds her voice
Before the murder, there was a marriage.
Prissy loves Pili. She has learned, the hard way, that you cannot rescue someone who doesn’t want to be rescued.
The pilot lives here - in the space between two people who love but cannot quite reach each other.
As the season unfolds, Prissy learns how to cope with the romance with help from her Ala-Cactus meetings. Soon, she becomes visible, admired, heard.
And Pili - who has spent years being the one who pulls away - finds himself on the other side of that equation for the first time.
Life is Prickly is all of love’s problems. Plus a dead body. Coming soon!
