Del Shores’ “black comedy about white trash,” “Sordid Lives,” gets a new production by producer/director Larry Buzzeo and his ArtBuzz Theatrics company through Oct. 22 at the intimate Empire Stage in Fort Lauderdale.

Shores, the author of “Daddy’s Dyin’ (Who’s Got the Will?)” cooked up an iconic comedy that was nominated for over 30 awards during its long run in Los Angeles. When Peggy, a good Christian woman, hits her head on the sink and bleeds to death after tripping over her lover’s wooden legs in a motel room, chaos erupts in Winters, Texas.
