The House of Yes

In Wendy Macleod’s black comedy The House of Yes, the actors of ART take on the Pascal family for whom time has stopped with Kennedy’s assassination, even twenty years past the infamous shooting. The obsessive Jackie-O is home from a mental health facility and keen to renew her incestuous relationship with her brother Marty. However, shut in during a Thanksgiving hurricane, the family must deal with Marty’s unannounced bride-to-be, Lesly. While the mother wants nothing to come between her family, younger brother Anthony immediately desires Lesly, and can’t resist one-upping his older brother. The family struggle means a choice must be made by Marty, his family, or his sanity.
