The House of Blue Leaves
Two River Theatre
Company
Crazy ‘House’:
Comedy and mayhem blend in revival of Guare play
But Guare didn’t want to write a door slamming, free -wheeling
comedy; he shows that the American Family isn’t just comic,
but dangerous, too. Director Chris Clavelli, who easily mines
every laugh that the play warrants, makes the adjustment quite
well.

But the actors make it all seem perfectly normal. That feat,
accomplished individually and as an ensemble, is what makes
this production steam. Give director Chris Clavelli considerable
credit.

Mr. Clavelli has done a fine job of directing the piece. It’s
very well staged, the characters believable, and the action
never confusing. By the end of the evening we feel we’ve
met a whole stage full of people, not just two.
