REVIEW: In a Dark Dark House
A Village Voice review.
In which I dissent from Mr. Ben Brantley's esteem for this latest threadbare play by Mr. Neil LaBute.
The headline isn't mine, but I gotta hand it to my editor Brian Parks for getting it exactly right: "MCC decides mounting another Neil LaBute play is a good idea."
I liked Frederick Weller in it, though. The photo already gives you an idea.
Note the LaBute debate going on over at Parabasis, btw.
Frederick Weller and Ron Livingston.

Something I neglected to mention in the review, which is probably pretty important, is... the ending makes NO sense. Am I right? Anyone seen it who had no problem with that?
Spoilers welcome. If you want to protect yourself, I guess, don't read these comments...
