Murky as Hell is one of the three plays presented as part of UT’s annual UTNT (UT New Theatre), presented in repertory. This play, based on the stories of the women who aided Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Teri Richardson, takes two women, The Recruiter and The Maid, through a multi-level rehabilitation program. This program transitions from an empty wasteland to a reprogramming suite, culminating in a Thunderdome style arena fight drawing inspiration for the world of WWE and gladiator fights. Murky as Hell is a darkly comedic and brutally over the top examination of guilt and complicity.
