In Poor Behavior, a drunken late night argument careens out of control, leaving two marriages and four lives in its wake. Set over the course of two demented days in a lovely country house, this crisp, acerbic adult comedy by acclaimed playwright Theresa Rebeck is both wickedly funny and genuinely insightful. The Pulitzer-nominated playwright's previous work includes the celebrated Broadway production Mauritius, plus a number of acclaimed plays, novels, television shows and feature films. For this production, Rebeck is reunited with veteran director Doug Hughes, who also directed Mauritius in 2007.

Slightly disappointed by an abrupt, seemingly unresolved ending, but nonetheless, superb writing and acting all around.

Wow, it's not for the faint of heart or emotionally insecure.
If you have faced your emotional foe and found it is yourself,
you are ready for this drama.

Love-Love-LOVED this play! Awesome script with an awesome cast! (It's like "Dinner with Friends" on crack!) I enjoyed every nuance!

I had read mediocre reviews (comparing it unfavorably to Albee's Virginia Wolff), so I was afraid we'd be in for a disappointing evening (las we had with God of Carnage). But, fortunately, instead of Albee, Poor Behavior is more of a riff on Ayckbourn's Norman Conquests. Norman never succeeds in his seduction but the ending is left ambiguous. In Poor Behavior, the seduction is successful; so the play is a bit darker, but again the ending is ambiguous. Seen in the light of Ayckbourn's trilogy, PB is derivative but still highly enjoyable.
