In the play by Terrence McNally, a corrupt society has forced a family into the isolated confines of their basement, where they manipulate each other in an effort for what appears to be survival.
“Certainly an obscure title and rarely produced, but penned by one of the most prolific American playwrights still living,” says Garry Lee Posey, Ensemble’s founding executive director.
“We enjoy introducing theater audiences of Chattanooga to theater they might not get to experience living so far away from New York, D.C. or Chicago, where the exposure is vastly different.”
