| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The House of Yes |
|---|
A brother and sister start a long term incestous relationship to deal with the end of their parent's marriage and the shock of the JFK assasination, and the sister becomes a psychotic "Jackie O". The brother, Marty, decides to become normal, and brings his fiance home to meet his family, causing the family to collapse. This play is rooted in The Fall of the House of Usher.
