A contemporary Southern American Gothic, This Side of Crazy resonates with Flannery O’Connor and Beth Henley, as it presents to the audience who surrounds the performance space from two sides in an L shape, skeletons in their “closets” just like Sam Shepard did in his dysfunctional family dramas. The “closets” are, in this play, different parts of the house of Ditty Blaylock, who lives with her eldest daughter, a “social media evangelist,” and her incapacitated husband Jude (played by a simulated patient).
