WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In "Poor Behavior," a drunken late night argument about morality, history and ethics careens out of control, leaving two marriages and four lives in its wake. Over the course of two demented days in a lovely country house, this dark adult comedy asks the question: Is it adultery if they already think you've done it?

RE:An interesting but unenlightening evening
This play is a little like a poor mans "Whos Afraid of Virginia Wolf". The set and direction are wonderful. The play so-so. Ian Reg Rogers is given a lot of words that he has found a way to spew but they really dont make sense. Sharon Lawrences character is either poorly written or she just hasnt come up with a way to make it work - probably both. And, by the end, there is no one you care about.

Actions speak louder than words in Theresa Rebeck's frequently hilarious and occasionally insightful new play, Poor Behavior, now in its world premiere at the Mark Taper Forum. And that's saying something, for Rebeck's words can be sharp as knives and just as easily cause serious wounds.
Director Doug Hughes keeps the pace snappy, which helps detract from the insufficient amount of background info we receive and the limited emotional depths the characters reveal. Indeed, what could have been a more deeply felt examination of moral choices and consequences settles instead for just a bright and shiny topcoat where the blood can pool but never stain.
