WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
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.

In the opening moments of Neil LaBute's latest provocative work, In a Dark Dark House, now at the Lucille Lortel, a thirtysomething security guard named Terry (Frederick Weller) has come to visit his estranged younger brother, Drew (Ron Livingston), in a psychiatric hospital. Drew, a wealthy attorney, is confined here after a spate of bad behavior including drunk driving and coke possession. Eventually, he musters the courage to tell his bro that he was sexually abused in his boyhood by a slightly older family friend named Todd.
