Premeditation at The Los Angeles Theatre Center

Esmeralda's husband is driving her crazy. She finds his attitudes and habits (leaving underwear on the floor after a shower; not maintaining the car properly; keeping the garage cluttered) pushing her beyond the limits of human endurance. So she does what any woman in her position would do: she hires a hit man to kill him! There's a wrinkle: Mauricio The Assassin doesn't just kill people for profit. A killer with a conscience, he insists that Esmeralda comes up with a really good reason for him to kill her man. For Mauricio, it isn't about the money ­­– it's about justice. There is also one other complication: Esmeralda and Mauricio share a connection that neither of them suspects.
