James Wilson takes a look at Duality at A.R.T. / New York Theatres:
The past and present collide in Anthony M. Laura's Duality, currently running at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre at The A.R.T./New York Theatres. Primarily, the play explores the lasting and reverberating psychological impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships, particularly between siblings. If the theme resonates with Jez Butterworth's The Hills of California, Duality also brings to mind other women-centered and family-oriented dramas, such as Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart and Marsha Norman's 'Night, Mother. |
