Flesh and the Desert, by Carson Kreitzer, is a kaleidoscopic portrait of Las Vegas following the intertwined stories of three couples: one ghostly, one long-lasting, and one just beginning. Starring Elvis and Liberace, slot machines, Siberian white tigers, and the glittering ever-glamorous Showgirls, the play was commissioned by Clubbed Thumb and premiered as part of the 2007 Summer Play Festival in New York.
