STAGES - ELLIOTT BAY DRAMA BOOK GROUP
Tuesday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m.

Elliott Bay's Drama Book Group, Stages, meets once a month to read, enjoy and discuss great plays and dramatic works, contemporary and classic, from the U.S. and around the world. This month we examine another controversial play by Neil LaBute, a playwright always popular for bookgroup discussions. Labute's In a Dark Dark House, is a confrontation between two brothers. Court-confined to a psychiatric facility, Drew has called his brother Terry to corroborate his claim of childhood sexual abuse by an older mentor of Terry's many summers past. Is Drew using his repressed memories just to save himself while smearing the name of his brother's friend? Through pain, betrayal and hidden animosities, the brothers come to grips with and begin to understand the legacy of abuse inside and outside their family home. Please join us for what is sure to be a lively discussion.
