What readers are saying
Readers generally appreciate the last two acts of the play, finding them enjoyable and impactful. One reviewer highlights the fun experienced during their performance of it, especially praising the humor and emotional depth of 'Dentity Crisis.'
Synopsis
THE STORY: The scene is a decaying mansion occupied by a family beset by all manner of problems: conceit, hatred, selfishness, incest and cruelty—all dealt with in an ironic, highly theatrical manner which offers rare acting opportunities for the performers involved.
Throughout, and despite the horrors encountered, all exude a kind of bland innocence which, oddly enough, seems to excuse their otherwise inexcusable behavior—and underscores the biting irony of what takes place.
