Christmas Belles
Jessie Jones
In Thurber's world, sex is less a quest for pleasure or an expression of love than it is the retardation of emotion.
And this is where Thurber makes her mark as an artist: She shows us how some parents would rather keep their offspring in their muck than Quirky and original, Lucy Thurber's STAY confirms the talent that the playwright demonstrated a few years back in the equally brilliant Where We're Born.
But while her previous play was grounded in a rugged naturalism, STAY sparkles with magic and surrea
"A very funny play… the comedy is fast and furious."
