Nominated for an IT Award for Outstanding Actress:
Jessica Kitchens
“Weaving a disturbing yet beguiling theatrical spell…"
“Compelling, thanks in large part to the strong writing and excellent cast.”
“A darkly entertaining production by New Light Theater Project.”
“This intelligent, well acted play, was a mind bending thriller with twists at every turn.”
“Like a bored 19-year-old burning ants alive on a summer’s day, No One Loves Us Here takes a magnifying glass to an already disintegrating notion of white class and laughs as gleefully as Bart Simpson.”
About the Play
Set in present day Central Valley, California. When Washington, a young Native American, is invited to stay in the Beaumonts’ upscale guest house, both Mr. and Mrs. — miserable and unsatisfied in their marriage — use Washington to make arrangements that will help them escape their unhappiness. But when Washington begins to fall in love with Mrs. Beaumont, he manipulates the wealthy household occupants and pins family against family, leading to a climactic bloodbath. A contest for territory, No One Loves Us Here is a black comic portrait of love and obsession, the aspiration of displaced youth and a crumbling white-collar class.
