John Patrick Shanley's Beggars in the House of Plenty from Frantic Redhead Productions
Theatre/Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Rated 3.0 by 24 members who went.
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.
