SUMMARY:Appropriate by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Garrett Ayers\nFor mature audiences only\n\nEvery e
 stranged member of the Lafayette clan has descended upon the crumbling Ark
 ansas homestead to settle the accounts of the newly-dead patriarch. As his
  three adult children sort through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk
 \, they collide over clutter\, debt\, and a contentious family history. Bu
 t after a disturbing discovery surfaces among their father's possessions\,
  the reunion takes a turn for the explosive\, unleashing a series of crack
 ling surprises and confrontations. Winner of the 2014–2015 Obie Award fo
 r Best New American Play.\n\n“…very fine\, subversively original…[Ja
 cobs-Jenkins] honors the time-tested recipes of those who have gone before
  him\, combining them into a crafty narrative…But he also brings a culin
 ary self-consciousness to the mix that makes you savor the ingredients ane
 w\, while pondering why they have dominated American theater for so long
 …APPROPRIATE is piercingly clear\, with carefully drawn characters who s
 peak in crisp and fluid dialogue. [Jacobs-Jenkins] enjoys his quarrelsome 
 characters\, and he has achieved the difficult feat of making them all bot
 h unlovable and impossible not to identify with…remarkable and devious."
  —The New York Times.\n\n"…prodigiously gifted… [Jacobs-Jenkins] eff
 ortlessly and believably taps into a white family's dysfunction\, infuses 
 the script with unforced\, viperish humor…APPROPRIATE is an uncommonly d
 eft dramatic and technical achievement." —Entertainment Weekly.\n\n"…a
 n exceptionally brilliant piece of writing…gut-punchingly honest work." 
 —Time Out (Chicago).\n\n"…biliously funny…Jacobs-Jenkins [is] a witt
 y provocateur and a dramatist on whom to keep your eye…What distinguishe
 s [APPROPRIATE] is the playwright's gift for drawing his characters into a
 n escalating conflict and sustaining\, with humor and craft\, our curiosit
 y about how they digest the terrible information thrown at them." —The W
 ashington Post.\n\n
