SELF DEFENSE, or the Death of Some Salesmen, by Carson Kreitzer

Seven men have been found dead along I-95 in Florida. A prostitute is arrested and charged with their murders. The police say she's a serial killer. She claims seven separate acts of self-defense. Inspired by the true story of Aileen Wuornos, Self Defense, or the death of some salesmen is a whirlwind of passions. Ms. Kreitzer's play is fast and furious, shocking and funny, and at its center, a portrait of a very complicated human being. She is complex, charismatic, dangerous, damaged, full of love and anger; above all else, she is alive.
