About the Show

The Tank presents this dark comedic farce featuring elements of clowning, Commedia dell'arte, and Lucy and Ethel.

A blonde and a brunette walk into a living room with lots of old, smoldering secrets, sisterly love-hate, and a gun. These women strain to remain civil and sophisticated, but cannot help but push each other's buttons. Outrageous revelations escalate as the many secrets they still hold unravel, tearing apart the living room and each other.

Critic Reviews (2)

""The actual plot is a play within a play that should be a fifteen-minute 'SNL' skit and not an hour and a half production...There is no doubt that these two have talent, but the production 'Whether We Like It Or Not' was like watching the same joke over and over again...If there had been a director, a lot of the flaws in the writing could have been brought to light. Blanche might have not been so one-note and Stella might not have been so stale."

"The two women on stage both did a splendid job, but a special shout-out must be given to Blanche, played by Shelby. Her comic timing and dramatic expressions are spot-on…'Whether We Like It Not' is not a didactic tale with an ulterior motive. It is an exciting, dramatic story with plot twists and turns that make for a great way of spending 60 minutes with a friend or a family member."
