Description
How rare it is for a well-behaved domestic dramedy like Elizabeth Diggs’s Close Ties to swerve off-road and smack us head-on. But that’s exactly what happens in this seemingly poky, standard-issue family study, when sweet, doddering, 84-year-old Josephine (Judith Roberts) loses her bearings and turns viciously on her adult granddaughter Anna (Polly Lee). The leap from quaint to queasy is handled so masterfully by Diggs, director Pamela Berlin and the top-notch cast—and there are enough other kerfuffles in store—that we can almost forget that this is, at bottom, a should-we-put-Grandma-in-a-home play.—Rob Weinert-KendtWhen
