Although, its ensuing tragedy does — a series of bangs, in fact.But Curious Theatre Company’s provocative production about one woman’s encounter– first tragic and then illicit — with guns begins with a breath.

Instead, she leans into the abysmal darkness of her journey using the second person.“You always imag...
