Beautiful House

About

This complex story of a family dealing with housing market troubles and terminal illness, does quite a job of bringing a disparate group of themes together in one body of work. There are genuinely funny moments amid somber scenes about how different people deal with grief. Also, "Beautiful House" attempts to make a connection between an ancient Egyptian household, in which human organs are embalmed so that they may be used in the afterlife, with the struggle dealing with the contemporary housing market in England. Be prepared to swing back and forth between humor and sadness in this unique piece of theater.
