Synopsis

Isabel's got pains.

Anne's got slugs.

And Genevieve doesn't want to talk about hers.

She just wants you to eat the damn hummus (she made it!).

Let's talk about family nightmares.

We mean, uh, memories.

Press Reviews

"Sly, elusive, off-kilter comedy... Mr. Arbery's script is rich with laugh lines."
— The New York Times

"Experimental theater perfection... it's delicious to see a playwright binding genres so confidently (body-double horror and rueful family comedy), but the real pleasure is in how much Plano manages to bend how you perceive reality beyond the proscenium."
— Time Out New York
