Betty's Summer Vacation

by Christopher Durang

Overview

Looking for a little rest and time by herself, Betty rents a summer share at the beach. But Betty's luck turns to delicious lunacy when this sensible Everywoman gets drawn into the chaotic world of some very unsavory housemates - her friend Trudy, who talks too much; the lewd, seminaked Buck, who tries to have sex with everyone; and Keith, a serial killer who hides in his room with a mysterious hatbox. With sand between her toes, walking a thin line between sanity and survival, poor Betty will leave her summer vacation more terrorized than tan.

Editorial Reviews

Incest, dismemberment, and a laugh track as a Greek chorus...theater, praise be, can still go where other forms of art cannot...an ecstatically angry new comedy...relentlessly fierce, relentlessly funny...

NY Times

This is a sweet night that has little to offend any but the thinnest skinned among us.

NY Newsday

...the funniest new farce in years...the play lifts off from the ground of brilliantly naturalistic comedy into the stratosphere of zany satire...by far Durang's best.
