A batch of magical yams generates visions when eaten. In a backwoods tavern in South Carolina, a young woman and her Yankee boyfriend peddle the wonder-inspiring potatoes, rushing to sell them off before the clock strikes twelve on New Year's Eve. One man's poison is another man's witchcraft. The yams reveal that reality has no door-only a sliding curtain to a story its users will be telling forever. 'Hot Potato' is a loud, irreverent three-act play with roughly a dozen characters. The play has its own language (and some strong language with references to sexuality). The play is a big gloppy sandwich, half of which lands in your lap if you're not careful. 'Hot Potato' is a conversation about the things that drive us, how we overcome disappointment, and the secrets of life.
