The Great Escape
by Matthew Freeman


Things have changed since Henry last visited Mom. For starters, the décor is decidedly kitschier, and his sister Catherine decidedly creepier. And Mom has a new husband. And she’s locked herself upstairs.

In Freeman’s absurdist comedy, adults remain children and go to extremes to stay that way. A family reunion never felt so much like a hostage crisis--or maybe it’s the other way around.
