“Christopher Durang is one of the masters of modern dark comedy, and his acidic and ironic style is at its pinnacle in The Marriage of Bette and Boo. This semi-autobiographical play deals with the pain of living in a broken and dysfunctional family. Durang deftly paints a grotesque and hilarious caricature of his own family, in which alcoholism and mental illness tore apart the marriages of his parents and grandparents. The characters are disturbingly blithe, dealing with issue like stillborn infants and abusive relationships with a chipper sense of irony and ignorance.”
