San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“Tribes”

November 14, 2015 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Tribes
Nina Raine
Pear Theatre
Morgan Dayley & Greg Anderson

A returning adult son is welcomed at the dinner table by his Dad: “Welcome back … Join in and have an argument.”  So starts Pear Theatre’s current production of the 2012 Drams Desk Outstanding Play winner, Tribes, by Nina Raine; and so begins an often riveting, sometimes hilarious, always compelling evening of live theatre.  For my full review, please link to Talkin’ Broadway http://www.talkinbroadway.com/regional/sanjose/sj14.html.

Rating: 4 E’s

Pear Theatre continues its production of Tribes through November 22 at 1110 Avenida Avenue, Mountain View.  Tickets are available online at www.thepear.orgor by calling 650-254-1148.
