Synopsis

Central Valley, California. When the Native American Washington is invited to stay in the Beaumonts' guest house, Mr Beaumont thinks he'll get one thing from the arrangement.

But just as Mrs Beaumont avidly tends to her front yard, so Washington decides to do some pruning himself.

A contest for territory, No One Loves Us Here is a black comic portrait of love and obsession, the aspiration of displaced youth and a crumbling white collar class.

Press Reviews

"Howard’s great accomplishment is creating a skewed world that’s entirely consistent and self-contained.. . . amoral yet compelling characters, Seinfeld-like but with even more nastiness; tight-lipped commentary on the explosive potential of family dynamics; and subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle comedy ....at just the right length and pace, this compact play ought to find a welcome on a bigger stage."
— Blog Critics

"Like a bored 19-year-old burning ants alive on a summer’s day, No One Loves Us Here takes a magnifying glass to an already disintegrating notion of white class and laughs as gleefully as Bart Simpson .... congratulations to Ross Howard for playing me like a violin the entire length of the play."
— OnStage Magazine"...events move quickly and the climactic ending doesn’t disappoint. While the black comedy paints a bleak portrait, it certainly entertains and delivers surprise and humor along the way. Theasy.com "Howard’s new work illustrates the characteristically 21st C

"This intelligent, well acted play, was a mind bending thriller with twists at every turn... No One Loves Us Here is a comedic, dark bloodbath of the carnage that once was the delusional American Dream and it deserves a longer run."
