“In this setting (a beautifully trashy set by Kathryn Lieber) it doesn’t take long to realize that beneath the dirty ply wood, many nasty family secrets lie. As these come to light, the final question becomes who will do the devouring: the gators or the people?
What’s also clear early on is that Dylan Lamb can write. From the first lines, you’re struck by the very unique way his characters talk, and how distinctive each of them are. In this talent, I don’t think comparisons to the Coen Brothers and Christopher Durang are out of place. Taking the writing even further is director Brandi Varnell’s efficient staging, and a fine cast, each of whom approaches their unique characters with an emotional truthfulness that’s rare in plays like this.”
