From Mel Gussow’s New York Times Review
IN his malevolent new comedy, ”The Upper Depths,” David Steven Rappoport pinions the American family – and the wrestling image is intentional. One of the family’s two teen-age daughters, the swaggering Rikke Borge, is a coed wrestling champion. Whenever her mother (Marilyn Chris) dares to criticize – or to ignore – her, she throws the older woman to the floor. After a while, when the mother sees her Amazonian daughter approaching, she runs for cover. In this self-destructive household, there is no hiding place.
