Ed & Mo

Written by Maggie Crane

Catholic school was wrong about hell. It’s not fire and brimstone or gnashing of teeth. Hell is Madison, Wisconsin. Mo hates everything about Wisconsin: the people, the quiet, the cold the psychiatric hospital at which she now works. Everything, that is, until she meets Ed, the blunt and kind-hearted patient with a dark and infamous past. Through bad jokes, imagining New York City with no humans in it, and writing letters to Frank Sinatra, the two form a bond that they share with no one else. From Catholicism to serial murder, Ed & Mo is a dark comedy that examines finding the people you never knew you needed.

Ed & Mo received developmental readings at DownstageTC and the Dixon Place Lounge.
