John Guare’s 'The House of Blue Leaves' is a brilliant, blisteringly funny, and violently shocking dark comedy masterpiece that stands as an undisputed milestone of 20th-century American dramatic literature since its historic 1971 Off-Broadway premiere. The frantic plot unfolds over a single chaotic day in 1965 inside a Queens apartment, tracking Artie Shaughnessy, a middle-aged zoo-keeper who dreams of Hollywood songwriting fame, as his life is completely liquidated by his schizophrenic wife, a bomb-carrying AWOL son, and three runaway nuns on the day the Pope visits New York. Most famously revived in Jerry Zaks’s multi-Tony-winning 1986 Broadway production, it remains a pillar.
