MacLeod’s writing balances theatrical wit with raw emotional stakes. Lines that make you laugh will later make you wince.

First performed in 1990 (and later adapted into a cult-favorite 1997 film starring Parker Posey), this one-act play is a sharp, unsettling, and fiercely witty look at a wealthy, fractured family trapped by history, desire, and a hurricane. It’s November 1989. A young man named Marty returns home to his family’s elegant Virginia estate for Thanksgiving — but he’s not alone. With him is his fiancée, Lesly, a practical, middle-class outsider about to be thrown into a den of sophisticated chaos.
