Musgrave's script provides the strong foundation from which this dark comedy spring boards off. I was thrown into the fantasy world of Flynn's character and taken by the cautious hand, introduced to incredibly witty dialogue and impeccable comedic timing from Flynn, Edell andd Afanasiev. I was pleased with the work that I'd watched, the story that was well told, and I wanted more! ...

I became a fan of Elizabeth's writing after seeing her award-winning HFF23 play Dream Big. She's on a hot streak as this play is every bit as imaginative, but more fun and twisted! With a whimsical lead character and a Fringey plot twist, I was thoroughly and happily entertained....

Twisted. Absurd. Tragic. Funny. Family.
If "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe" and "Grey Gardens" had a love child, it would be "Parlour Games". So twisted and so dark and so damn tragically funny ...all in the name of family tradition!
Can't wait to see Musgrave's next play! ...

I honestly had no idea where this play was going, and that is the best feeling. Starting out with a woman who seems to be unwell in a mental way, we honestly don't know at any point, which two people will team up and triumph over the third. Makes some BIG choices and I love that so much. This play is well worth the trip. Is it all a game, or is it something more?...

Very engaging and somewhat absurd. Fun surprises around each beat. Reminded me of something like "The House Of Yes" by way of Christopher Durang. ...

A fascinating examination of what can be passed down from generation to generation and the burden, or joy, of carrying on familial tradition. This show was so much fun, congratulations to the entire team!...

Magnetic comedic performances from the three actors, this show is a ridiculous, absurd and often dark comedy. I don't have any siblings, but if I did, I imagine we'd be as weird as Vivi and Bebe when we were around each other. ...

Parlour Games is witty and well-written, cleverly weaving in a bit of generational family drama. Intriguing and entertaining to the tragic end....
