WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Dottie has trained Betty to be the perfect 1950s housewife: to cook the perfect pot roast, to bake a gorgeous seven-layer cake, to remove any stain. And tonight, on her 18th birthday, it is time for Betty to go out into the world. Only Dottie has failed to mention that the year is 2007, that the world is a vast and complex place, and that there is reason she cannot abide being called "Mother."
Ghosts from the past haunt the women and shatter their idyllic, if odd, existence. When a mysterious traveler is stranded at their home, he brings a revelation that forces Betty to choose between the love of her "mother" and her freedom and sanity.
Appropriate For Ages: 12+

Bekah Brunstetter's delightful new comedy You May Go Now, playing upstairs at the 45th Street Theatre, contains the kind of inspired lunacy found within the wackier works of Christopher Durang and David Lindsay-Abaire. This darkly satiric take on marriage and child-rearing includes plenty of odd characters, dark secrets, and hilarious dialogue.
The play begins with Dottie (Ginger Eckert) teaching Betty (Melinda Helfrich) how to make white icing for a cake. Betty isn't a particularly good student, although she does have an enormous curiosity about things that Dottie doesn't wish her to know -- which includes just about everything, seeing as how Dottie has kept the girl freakishly sheltered.[...]
