Dirty Laundry @ the WP Theater

The Play: Dirty Laundry; a woman, a father and his mistress struggle through the stages of grief after the death of the mother and wife as a Greek chorus narrates and comments on the emotions they’re going through

Written by: Mathilde Dratwa        Directed by: Rebecca Martinez

One good thing: The three actors in the main roles—Lakisha May as the daughter, Richard Masur as the dad and especially Constance Shulman as the other woman—are excellent at conveying both the text and subtext of the anger, confusion and regret their characters are experiencing

One not-so-great thing: But the trio of actresses playing the Greek chorus aren’t as clearly written, directed or performed as they need to be to justify their presence
