Not convinced? Here is the break down of characters (note: daughters not in age order)
Father – drunk
Mother – drug abuser
Daughter 1 – not good enough
Daughter 2 – control freak
Daughter 3 – depressed & naive
Granddaughter – drug user
Grandson – waste of life
The whole dysfunctional family concept is not entertaining to me. At all. I get enough crazy between my family and the hubby’s, I don’t need to read about too.
This play did not let up the arguments, cheap jabs at each other, or any of the other punches a family can throw. If that’s not enough, you get incestual hints and pedophiles too.
Act I: Relationship background & Beverly ventures off
Act II: Bev is found and
Spoiler
put to restAct III: General family drama
In the end, I understand that this play is a social commentary, but it’s not my kind of read (or watch..).

I don’t think I can add stars to this review because I genuinely don’t know what to rate it as out of 5.Â
