With absurd, poignant dialog and brutal characterizations, Joshua Conkel's MilkMilkLemonade is a bitterly funny exploration of gender, sexuality, life, death, and the human body.
Emory is an effeminate 11-year-old boy who lives on a farm with his chain smoking Nanna and his only friend, a depressed chicken about to be processed. Nanna wishes Emory would get his head out of the clouds, stop choreographing ribbon stick dance numbers, and be more like Elliot, the boy down the road with a penchant for burning things. But Emory and Elliot have a relationship -- just not one Nanna woud expect or approve of.
