House of the Rising Son

House of the Rising Son

by Tom Jacobson

 

What:  House of The Rising Son - Tennessee Williams meets Anne Rice in a subversive, Southern gothic romance.  A parasitologist at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum, Trent Varro brings his new lover home to meet the family in New Orleans.  Populated with ghosts and parasites, Jacobson’s play mixes the supernatural with science to illuminate hot button issues of gay marriage and equality in a whole new way.  It’s at once a ghost story, a love story, and a family story.
