The production asks a lot, and delivers as much
Fun Home, now at Cain Park's Alma Theatre, is a glorious puzzle—a contradictory and searching mess that requires the audience to sometimes work as hard as the actors to fully experience the way this show illuminates the tragedy of family secrets and haunting memories. And on top of all that, it's wickedly funny.
Bruce is a disarming and at time volatile bundle of charm, grace and anger as he tries to deal with his attraction to men. His furious contradictions drive his wife Helen away, at one point with her playing the piano in the living room while he is, um, entertaining a young man elsewhere in the house. Fun home, indeed.
That attraction for women comes to full flower when Medium Alison meets fellow student Joan at Oberlin College and Medium Alison sings that she's"Changing My Major ." Gabi Ilg brings a powerful voice to the role while also investing her dialog scenes with clarity and commitment. Grown-up Alison narrates the story from the drawing board where she does her cartoon/graphic work. And she occasionally floats through the others' scenes, just observing and sometimes offering commentary.
