Details

Ever had a secret? Here are first and last confessions from Salt Lake City. Bash is a dark chain of three short one-act plays depicting the not-so-guilty secrets of a trinity of average Americans. The corpses of a baby, a son and a lynched homosexual need explaining, and in this trilogy's intimate conversations with college sweethearts and Vegas salesmen, we get the gospel truth.

Reviews

User Review: 11Jan01: Each performance abounds in just the kind of telling detail that makes almost all of LaBute s writing so engaging. The actors all disclose the psychopathologies of these young American lives with riveting immediacy; and horrifying charm.

User Review: 11Jan01: There is no mistaking LaBute s technical skill, his ability to get under the skin of both his characters and the audience. But there is an imaginative nastiness here, combined with a failure of compassion, that makes the flesh creep.
