Hir

A Dark Comedy by Taylor Mac

Discharged from the Marines under suspicious circumstances, Isaac (Daniel Luis Molina) comes home from the wars, only to find the life he remembers upended.
Isaac’s father (Thomas Muniz), who once ruled the family with an iron fist, has had a debilitating stroke; his younger sister, Maxine, is now his brother, Max (Emmitt Williams); and their mother, Paige (Jeanine Henry), is committed to revolution at any cost.
Determined to be free of any responsibility toward her formerly abusive husband—or the home he created—Paige fervently believes she can lead the way to a "new world order."
HIR, Taylor Mac’s subversive comedy, leaves many of our so-called normative and progressive ideas about gender, families, the middle class—and cleaning—in hilarious and ultimately tragic disarray.
“…sensational—in all senses of the word…[an] audacious and uproarious black comedy…Mac has his own gloriously skewed vision of the toxins fouling the American family from within, and in its avowedly loopy way HIR reflects current concerns about the decline of the middle class, as well as the trauma war veterans endure…brilliant writing…” —The New York Times.
