About This Show

MCC Theater presents the world premiere of Neil LaBute’s In a Dark Dark House, starring Ron Livingston and Frederick Weller. Carolyn Cantor directs.

On the grounds of a private psychiatric facility, two family members find themselves brought face to face with each other’s involvement in their traumatic past. In court-ordered rehab, Drew calls on his brother, Terry, to corroborate his story of abuse. Drew’s request releases barely-hidden animosities between the two; is he using these repressed memories to save himself while smearing the name of his brother’s friend and mentor? In Neil LaBute’s powerful new play, these siblings must struggle to come to grips with their troubled legacy, both inside and outside their dark family home.

Frederick Weller gives a superb performance in Neil LaBute’s provocative if overly ambiguous play about child abuse.
