HIR, a play about what?

 


Yesterday I attended HIR at the New Theatre in Newtown, Sydney. This is a confronting work about a dysfunctional family. An abused wife takes revenge on her husband, a daughter in transition and a son back from war wondering what happened to the family he left. This is not Broadway Bound, being confronting. All performances are good, as is the set, but it is hard work for the audience, with a few laughs. HIR might be a metaphor for current US politics.
