There's a serial killer on the loose — yet even in a city rattled by horror and chaos, seven sexually frustrated individuals are struggling to find love. New City Stage Co.'s production mixes genres to create a raw thriller that's also seriously funny. But don't expect your standard murder mystery. "It's not a whodunit," says director Ryder Thornton. "What it really is is a play about psychological horrors."
