WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Jo and Sam are having a party. As the evening wears and guests and hosts alike become less congenial, it becomes clear that the thrust and parry of chatter at this gathering isn't completely frivolous. Something dark is at rest behind Jo's biting humor. As the party breaks up and everyone seeks their own solace, an unexpected guest and her mysterious companion arrive. Will she bring Jo comfort?

Seattle Repertory Theatre mounts the long-awaited revival of this rarely produced stunner by the author of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and reunites the recent Broadway team (The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?) of playwright laureate Edward Albee and director David Esbjornson.

It's not just their vicious little hearts and casual cruelty -- this is Albee territory, after all -- but the complete absence of any spark of humanity that makes the play seem like a very long trip.

At the center of the drama, competently piloted by David Esbjornson, are Jo (Carla Harting) and Sam (Charlie Matthes), who are hosting a regular gathering of friends in their home. Jo is dying; and as the evening[...]
