RE•DEMP•TION (noun): deliverance; rescue; atonement for guilt.
This dark comedy follows the deeply eccentric members of a family in crisis. Mom’s bubbly optimism bursts forth in kooky conversational tangents. Dad may be an imposter. Elizabeth is a ticking time bomb, Mary Ann bakes cakes and spews random psychobabble, and Gail is just trying to keep from killing them all. Both viciously funny and incredibly poignant, Escape from Happiness explores the many ties that can bind—and sometimes choke—a family.
