FOUR PLACES, by Joel Drake Johnon, is a deceptively simple play that unfolds in real time. It is emotionally precise, and both devasting and darkly comedic. A middle aged brother and sister have gotten word from their elderly parents' caretaker that they may be in danger of each other. The brother joins his sister and mother on their weekly lunch date, hoping that he and his sister can get a clearer picture of the situation. As the mother confronts the indiginites of age and the children stare down a mounting list of losses and disappointments, a harrowing and true-to-life image of the family emerges. With unwavering clarity and sensitivity, Johnson explores the ways that familiail love and knowldge create both hurt and comfort.
