Author Description

The title is not gratuitous. The play is based on a true story of a police officer caught in the act of raping a 13 year-old boy. In a pointless cascade of atrocities, the case gets worse. The play is told through three perspectives: the expert witness who participated in the ensuing civil litigation, his disaffected girlfriend, and a pithy commentator. Songs by the Americana Desolation Punk Rock band Crying 4 Kafka emanate throughout. The Saint of Fucked-Up Karma was performed in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California in the summer of 2013.
