Griffin Theatre Company presents the Midwest premiere of Bathsheba Doran's Kin. When Kin debuted in 2011 in New York, The New York Times called it "the finest new play of the season." This sweeping story of the gradual forming of a new family spans two continents and seven years, blending comedy and drama to tell a joyful and poignant story about ten people who must come together. A native of England, Doran has won numerous playwriting awards, and worked as a writer on the second season of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Learn More

Dramatic, fast moving, amazing cast. It was a simple story line with dramatic turns - the characters were realistic and easy to relate to. The cast I am assuming was direct from the UK - if not their accents were spot on. I'm 40, my daughter 15 - we both enjoyed it equally.Written on Jan 23 2012

The performances were strong and the play itself is thematically rich material (sort of The History Boys meet Quentin Tarantino).Written on Jan 16 2012

The first couple scenes were an engaging coming-of-age take on British youth...angst, young love, social status, etc. Then it descended into a bit of a mess of a story line that included bleak monologue on life, over-the-top and out-of-no-where bullying and psychosis. No real protagonist or antagonist and no real story arc.Written on Jan 23 2012
The acting was very good for the most part...great accents and decent dialog. I just think the script was a bit of a mess.
