Amazing. Thanks to the Rep for bringing such an important and powerful play to our community. Dramatic doesn't even begin to describe it- I was up half the night thinking about different scenes and the crazed and sad spider web of the family relationships. Miss Kitty and I kept looking at each other and mouthing "whoa". This is a theater lover's performance- we are truly lucky!
From the Rep press release that started this thread:
Literary critic Harold Bloom notes, "the helplessness of family love to sustain, let alone heal, the wounds of marriage, of parenthood, and of sonship, have never been so remorselessly and so pathetically portrayed, and with a force of gesture too painful ever to be forgotten by any of us."
The Rep is honored to bring to life such an important piece of dramatic literature to Panhandle audiences that may never get another chance to see this play in their lifetime. To experience this play in the intimate setting of the Meeting Hall Theatre should be one of the most powerful and moving evenings one ever hopes to experience in the theatre.
