As Mark finds critical and commercial success through his band Eels’s debut album Beautiful Freak, Liz continues to struggle and is committed to an institution before taking her own life. Instead of creating a commercial follow-up to Beautiful Freak, Mark decides to use his second album Electro-Shock Blues as a way to tell Liz’s story and give her the creative outlet she never had in life. Told partly through the lyrics from Electro-Shock Blues and partly through flashbacks exploring Mark and Liz’s relationship, this one act play tells the story of these two siblings, and the cathartic and redemptive qualities of music.
