Bug
By Tracy Letts
The Half Moon Theatre, May 06 - May 11 2013
An incredible psychological thriller by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts.
This gloriously paranoid rollercoaster of a play has shades of William Burroughs, with a dash of David Cronenberg and perhaps just a twist of David Lynch’s Wild At Heart.
It tells the story of the relationship between Peter and Agnes as they hold up in Agnes’s motel room and cope with a growing bug infestation, a violently abusive ex-husband, and a figure from Peter’s past who threatens to destroy the delicate fabric of the reality they have woven around themselves..

..."Dwyer’s set has all the requisite filth but, like the play itself, the wallpaper columns instead of walls reach beyond the naturalistic into something vaguely symbolic..."
