The latest semiautobiographical work from Pulitzer Prize-winner and DMV native Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive) traces 40 years and five evictions in a very funny play about a very unhappy family. Siblings Martha and Carl are barely teens for their first eviction in 1962, growing up gay in the out-sized orbit of their glamorous, exacting, alcoholic mother. The family’s odyssey through the DC suburbs takes them from one roach-infested apartment to another, and from the Sexual Revolution to the Disco Era to ’90s New Age. A Broadway hit last season, Mother Play: A Play in Five Evictions is wry, savage, and surprisingly tender, an exorcism as well as a ritual of forgiveness.
