Beggars in the House of Plenty is set in the Bronx in the '50s and late-'60s, and deals with an Irish-American family's struggle with their inner demons. Part memory, part hallucination and part truth, the family's instinctual need for the love of one another barely holds their violence in check.

We loved everything about this production. With John Patrick Shanley's writing and Larry Moss directing, it was a must see and did not disappoint; in fact we were quite moved. All the acting was strong and the set and costumes were adequate. The intimate theater was enjoyable, too.

The acting in general, and specially two brothers acting were excellent.it is a little too loud, specially for a little theatre.

I took me a while to get into it, the play's style is somewhat impressionistic. But the actors were excellent, particularly the father, and the play ended up packing quite an emotional punch. The woman next to me sobbed uncontrollably at the end.

I was disappointed. While the subject matter and structure of the play were challenging (and interesting to this Shanley fan as personal background), the moments of melodramatic excess prevented me from becoming fully involved in the play.
