The Marriage of Bette and Boo
Directed by Perry T. Schwartz |
 |
Wicked and dazzling. Thirty years of divorce, alcoholism, madness and death in a wacky family world flipped inside out. Durang's own past fuels this wild, personal Glass Menagerie. "A deeply moving piece, at times both heartwhelmingly poignant and uproaringly funny. A delight to see." Venue: The Black Box Theatre Montgomery College, Takoma Park, MD 20912

Audience reactions to
The Marriage of Bette and Boo
by Christopher Durang
"Superb acting. Enjoyed it very much." June 5, 2008
"We just wanted to write to tell you how much we enjoyed The Marriage of Bette and Boo at the Black Box Theatre last night.
"The acting was phenomenal. The sets and staging were ingenious. The play was truly dark as well as laugh-out-loud funny. With such wacky characters, it's amazing that Christopher Durang's play is autobiographical!"
-- Karen and Aron Primack June 5, 2008
"The actors all did a superb job. How they could keep from breaking character while I and others howled in the audience is a miracle of the acting craft I will never understand. The set too was marvelous; I don’t know how this company does it without money. This is not establishment bourgeois theater for the upper crust; it’s always on the edge, and you should show up to support it."
