‘Appropriate’
The estranged siblings of the Lafayette family gather to settle their late father’s Arkansas estate. Amid the clutter they uncover a shocking relic, forcing them to confront long-buried secrets and decades of resentment. As tensions boil over and the cicadas roar, the family faces unsettling truths about their past and how it has shaped them. Directed by Steve H. This Tony Award–winning play is a searing and bitingly funny portrait of family, history and legacy. “Appropriate” runs Jan. 25-Feb. 23 in the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, Old Globe Theatre.
