About the Show

A comedy about a family returning home after many years away, only to discover a deep, hidden family secret.

The estranged members of the Lafayette clan have returned to Arkansas and their crumbling old plantation home to settle the accounts of their recently deceased patriarch. As they sort through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk, the discovery of a gruesome relic and a surprise visitor send the family into a spiral of crackling confrontations, repressed histories, and regret.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great staging, Indulgent, Original

See it if You want to hear the voice of a great new playwright.

Don't see it if You're generally not into new plays.

Absorbing, Great writing, Intelligent, Masterful, Thought-provoking

See it if You want to see an entertaining and thought provoking play. Brandon-Jacobs is an amazing playwright.

Don't see it if You want something light and don't want to have to think about what you are seeing.

Relevant, Thought-provoking, Funny, Great writing, Must see

See it if you like theater...terrific play. Saw the Julliard production (2016). Wonderful cast...but it's the play that's the winner.

Don't see it if are uncomfortable with dysfunctional families of racial themes...or if you only like musicals. Otherwise...see it!

Absorbing, Clever, Entertaining, Great acting, Great staging

See it if You like plays that are loud and debaucherous and twisted.

Don't see it if You are into more classical shows.
