The Ding Dongs

When sweet-faced Joe and Natalie show up on a suburban doorstep, the tight-lipped homeowner, Redelmo, finds their request strange: the house, they claim, was Joe's childhood home and they've come in hopes of getting a quick peek around. Bewildered by their oddly sunny dispositions, Redelmo tries to keep the visitors at bay, but their clever wordplay preys upon his sense of civility, and they cheerily muscle their way across the threshold. Once inside, the couple makes themselves comfortable and Redelmo finds himself the victim of a surreal home invasion.

Gidion’s Knot

"Gidion's Knot," Johanna Adams' brief, bruising drama, is the very definition of contemporary theater. It traffics in issues of the day: childhood, parenting, the role of teachers, the power of the Internet.

And yes, alas, bullying.

Just when you think you've figured out the arc of the plot — a distraught mother visits her son's fifth-grade teacher after his untimely death — Adams surprises you. Nothing is more devastating than the death of a child, unless it's the need to assign blame for his passing.
