White People

By Neil Cuthbert*

On a seemingly idyllic suburban Saturday in 1975  the long repressed tensions of Mag's WASP family finally explode.  Her older son is writing a pornographic science fiction epic in his pajamas.  Her go-go dancing daughter is followed home from work by a mysterious stranger.  Her youngest son is smoking something in the basement.  Her husband's started drinking again' and her racist mother shows up for lunch on the wrong day.  A long day's journey into white.

"Delphi Harrington excels as Gramma, the relative you love to hate, this is a skillful ensemble." - Curtainup

"Making a "normal" situation break apart at the seams is difficult, and Cuthbert is to be commended." - NYTheatre.com
