Review: PROBLEMS BETWEEN SISTERS at Studio Theatre
by David Friscic - May 15, 2024
The submerged and, often, long-sublimated divisions and resentments and life motifs of two estranged sisters come to the fore in the visceral and joltingly immersive play entitled Problems Between Sisters.

In this intriguing play, the battling brothers become two sisters, California becomes Vermont and screenwriting becomes visual and performance art.
