Dark, intimate and truly compelling, Psalms of a Questionable Nature has just about everything going for it. To begin with, the space is absolutely ideal: the play takes place in a basement over real time, making the downstairs auditorium in the Lafayette Street Theatre feel shockingly realistic. This new play by Marisa Wegryzn is centered on a pair of stepsisters who meet for the first time in order to clean out their recently deceased parents' basement. A familiar setup, but a level of menace is added by the fact that the parents in question had a very frightening hobby: sending biological weapons to unsuspecting victims through the mail (a timely subject, considering the anthrax stories in the news lately). The basement was their lab, and is packed with dangerous phials and infected rodents, and it's unclear whether the two sisters are infected or not. What's even more disturbing are the secrets and dark pasts of the two stepsisters: paranoid and damaged Moo (Emily Kunkel), who lived with the terrorist parents, and the older, confident news anchor Greta (Carrie Heitman), who has some demons of her own. Wegryzn has an excellent ear for dialogue, and an ability to surprise us throughout with character revelations (only a few of which strain credibility). Kunkel and Heitman, both excellent, are well served by director Tracy Francis, who utilizes the realistic setting to forge a real connection between Greta and Moo. "We are horrible people who come from horrible people," as Greta says at one point in the play. Maybe, but it sure makes for compelling theatre. [Furay]

Time Out NY:
"**** (four stars) Marisa Wegrzyn's play takes place in the filthy, trash-strewn basement of a house that has been bequeathed to a former news anchorwoman, Greta, after the death of her estranged mother and stepfather. Greta intends to clean up the house and sell it, but her plans are interrupted by her younger stepsister, Moo, and a host of disturbing family secrets. At first, you are horrified to discover what awful people the dead parents were; eventually, you also become disgusted with Moo, and the final twist leaves you equally appalled at the seemingly reasonable Greta. Although the script could dig deeper, Psalms of a Questionable Nature offers strong performances and a compellingly depressing look at the ties that bind. Greta herself sums up the moral of this story when she entreats Moo to face it: "We're horrible people born to horrible people. Nothing can change that." The play's final scene does not contradict her."—Beth Levendis

Backstage:

American theatre has its share of toxic families, but none more literally poisonous than the parents in Marisa Wegryzn's grim two-hander.
Greta (Carrie Heitman) and Moo (Emily Kunkel) are stepsisters who meet for the first time after Greta's mother and Moo's father die in a car accident. Whereas the sheltered, emotionally stunted Moo seems to yearn for some connection with her newfound sibling, the businesslike Greta wants nothing more than to sell off her parents' lonely country house. Either way, it means confronting the secret of the house's long-forbidden basement, which turns out to be a makeshift bioterrorism lab.
The recent suicide of suspected anthrax killer Bruce Ivins lends the story a certain creepy topicality, and Tracy C. Francis directs with appropriate naturalism." (A.J. Mell)
