The House of Yes

by Wendy MacLeod
Directed by Dr. Mark J. Seamon

Synopsis

Playwright MacLeod is the James E. Michael playwright-in-residence at her alma mater, Kenyon College in Gambier. In her darkly humorous comedy-drama, it's Thanksgiving, and son Marty's arrival home is greatly anticipated by his mother, Mrs. Pascal, his twin sister, Jackie-O, and his younger brother, Anthony. He arrives during a hurricane, but worse than the storm is the fact that Marty brings Lesly, his fiancée. The introduction of this young woman threatens to ruin everything for this dysfunctional family existing in its own little world.
