About the Project
PARLOUR GAMES has our final show (Friday) June 21th 10:30PM at @Broadwater Theater (Second Stage)
The reviews for PARLOUR GAMES are in:
“A unique, savy, darkly humorous unexpected sibling relationship. I was at the edge of my seat!”
“Very clever, hilarious and offbeat comedy with wonderful performances and a fantastic twist!”
“Engaging & well acted. I was immediately taken by the story and all of its taboo subject matter.”
“Entertaining and funny, great acting on all parts.”
“What a fantastic show! Very unsettling, funny, light, scary, comedic and all the good things you want! “
In this absurdist comedy, a woman and her significant other return to her ancestral home where her eccentric sister has planned a night of fun and games that soon turns lethal when a time-honored family tradition is revealed.
Three-person absurdist comedy that turns macabre. In the vein of Albee, Genet, Pinter. Splash of Tennessee Williams and Flannery O’Connor.
