Review by peanutduck
We create violence through careless personal collisions. Script’s still stuck on its platform; however, Megan Kate Ward’s keen ear and eye bring out play’s scathing linguistic and overt physical violence. Onstage relationships drag down action; actors feel mismatched, and, excluding the brothers, don’t connect. Gary Norman excels as arrogant father.
