The Morbs
Jen Diamond’s "The Morbs" attempts to do two things: create a thriller from a new pandemic called “The Morbs” as well as examine female friendship with the reunion of three sorority sisters who used to be best friends when they meet five years after graduation. Diamond is not entirely successful at either: the play does not become scary until the last 20 minutes and too much is left unsaid about the women’s friendships to really understand them. The cast directed by Lily Kanter Riopelle is excellent but they can’t fill in the gaps of what is not there. [more]
