SICK,TWISTED,HILARIOUS DARK COMEDY
One of the funniest things I've ever read, this is a pretty tragic dark comic play about a young woman who is obsessed with Jackie Kennedy to the point of being called "Jackie-O".

Hilarious, strange, sick and wrong...but ultimately wonderful.

Rubbed some people the wrong way.

Not as I expected
I saw the film with Parker Posey and bought the script with the hope to find some more details. But the film was in every way better and the script alone can not stand at the height of the film.

a brilliant, twisted ride
Upon finishing The House of Yes, I decided that it was without a doubt one of the best plays I have ever read. Set in the dysfunctional Pascal home during a hurricane on Thanksgiving, the audience gets a glimpse at the incestuous relationship of twins Jackie-O and Marty, their fascination with the Kennedy assasination, and what happens when an outsider (Marty's doughtnut shop worker fiancee Lesly) is thrown into the mix. Wendy MacLeod has written a brilliant play and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good, black comedy.
