Overview
Synopsis
Betty is looking forward to spending a nice summer relaxing in a rented seaside house. Her plans quickly go awry when Betty realizes she is sharing the house with some disturbed individuals, including a possible serial killer and a man who flashes everyone. To top it off, there are odd voices coming from the ceiling that no one can shut up. A farce on America’s obsession with murder and scandal, Betty’s Summer Vacation is a disturbing yet darkly humorous play from the master of the modern comedy, Christopher Durang.
