If you thought your family was dysfunctional, you haven’t seen THE HOUSE OF YES. Just in time for Thanksgiving, Marty Pascal braves a hurricane to bring his fiancée home to meet his family. Why he thought that would be a good idea is the central mystery of the script.
Ugliness and secrets abound in this family, and they all eventually come out with disastrous results.

This production is fun, but uneven, with too many scene changes cluttering up the energy. Leo Giannopoulos and Rita McCann are standouts as Marty and his fiancée. Clare Solly is way too young to be the mother which is overcompensated by giving her old age makeup that doesn’t work in the small venue.
