Her rendering of the alternatingly confused

bringing; Brooks handled all aspects of this
complex character beautifully.
Members of the supporting case also are
to be congratulated for strong perform
ances. Beth Marie Hansen as Ma, Jonathan
R. Ondov as boyfriend David, and Caron
Buinis as family friend Dol contributed a
number of excellent moments. And, in a
few brief but memorable appearances; T.
Marni Vos and Richard Dinsmore made a
fine pair of benighted, besotted wanderers!
The play was often funny but most
often funny in an ugly way. The characters
are as contemptible as they are' pathetic.
And they are stupid. They do not grow.
They are as lost in the end as they are in
the beginning. Perhaps that is all one can
do in a hothouse-sustain what exists, with,
out altering or improving it.
There is validity in this concept, but
Terry's script is unrelieved ugliness; for all
of its realism it is frustrating to watch.
Thanks to the virtues of this production,
the vices of the script did not overwhelm
the evening.
Technically the production was fine.
Timothy J. Case's set played a trifle
obviously on the show's title, but it work
ed well. The sound design by Bill Honvlez
was evocative and well chosen. Michael A.
Rice's lighting complemented the play's
moods well. ,
The production was not without weak
nesses, nor was the script. The combined
strengths of the two, however, provided a
fine evening of theater.
Hothouse author Megan Terry is
"currently playwright in residence at the
Omaha Magic Theatre.
