A Pittsburgh Theater Premiere and limited run - three nights only - THE SPEED QUEEN, directed by Austin Pendleton, will play December 6, 7, and 8 at Off The Wall Theater.

Adapted from the novel by Stewart O'Nan and starring Anne Stockton, this harrowing one-woman tour de force won for Outstanding Performance - Solo Show at the 2007 NYC Midtown International Theater Festival.

Convicted murderer Marjorie Standiford has agreed to spend her last hours on Death Row talking into a tape recorder, answering questions posed by a celebrated author about her involvement in a killing spree, her drug addiction, wild sex life, and why she is where she is.
