press HIGHLIGHTS

Williams’ “Some Problems for the Moose Lodge” played like a 1970s screwball comedy that suddenly turns dark. The action begins with Corny and Bella returning from an out-of-town trip to bury their son, a victim of AIDS. Bella, demented, is constantly off balance, her illness treated as a pratfall. Almost as an afterthought, she reads a letter to a friend (whose hemorrhoids had the audience laughing) from her institutionalized daughter, pleading to come home. Wishful thinking?
