The Ding Dongs or What is the Penalty in Portugal?

Joe and Natalie show up on a suburban doorstep, hoping for a tour of what they claim is Joe’s childhood home. When the unsuspecting homeowner, Redelmo, welcomes them, the atmosphere shifts, and a strange battle for possession of the house begins. The play raises questions about contracts and compassion and examines the cycle of violence that surrounds our system of private property. A playful meditation on our concepts of homeland and security. Redelmo & The Dingdongs was written by Brenda Withers (author of Matt & Ben) and developed in the WHAT Lab in 2010.
