| Synopsis: | A twisted family reunion of a once beautiful homecoming queen turned crack-addicted Goth chick; the Southern Baptist mother who speaks aloud to God; her zany hyper-intelligent son; his older maniacal Marine Corps brother and another estranged brother with his new wife can only add up to a new dark comedy by Lee Anderson. This hilarious, one-act play begins when the estranged brother, Wade, brings his new wife home to meet his demented, North Floridian family. The resulting visit is nothing short of harrowing. Each character represents the past and present of the family relations as secrets are uncovered and the reasons behind their madness are revealed. In an offbeat blend of Sam Shepard-like issues and the disturbing comedy of Tom Solondz’s “Happiness,” Anderson weaves a compelling story about the extremes of family dysfunctions and the consequences of trying to deny one’s roots, no matter how justified the denial might be. | |||||
