    Durang Gets His Bite Back
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2000*

It's been a rough decade for Christopher Durang.  A handful of lukewarm scripts had people wondering if the vicious and yet strangely empathetic edge of his writing had been lost forever.  Thankfully, with Betty's  Summer Vacation, Durang is back with style.  This bizarre allegory about  our tendency to turn real-life tragedy into entertainment is right on the  money and has all the earmarks of Durang's best scripts: A likeable but  ineffectual central character fighting desperately for normality, an insane  matriarch, and a cadre of strange characters imbued with an inhuman honesty  that is unintentionally brutal, and completely hysterical.  This will not  be to everyone's taste; there are vile situations played for laughs  (including a rape - possibly Durang's most disturbing writing since  "The Nature and Purpose of the Universe"), and a healthy dose of  absurdism and audience alienation.  But if you like to think and laugh and  be disgusted all at the same time, pick up Betty's Summer Vacation.  If  your idea of theatre comedy is, say Run For Your Wife, you best keep  running.

    Durang It!
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2014*

Yawn.  I've directed and acted in Durang pieces and felt this was the least interesting, though possibly the most weird, which is saying something.  He can be funny, relevant, even strangely, weirdly touching.  Not so much here.  Just seemed a kind of miss on plot and dialogue.  Frankly, I was a little ...ooh, ...bored.

    Comic or Perverse?
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2001*

In this absurb comedy, Christopher Durang makes a bold statement about our violent society, our hunger for sensationlism, and how we have come to view human horror and tragedy as entertainment. Through characters that appear as stereotypes of dysfunction, Durang demonstrates the worst of human nature, amorality and a lack of personal responsibility. The audience is treated to rape, murder, maming, incest, sexual addiction...to name of few...all in the name of "comedy". I didn't find the play funny. Instead, it was very disturbing in the portrayal of a society obsessed with violence and horror...one not that far from the one in which we currently live.
