Bug
Peter's convinced a "matriarchal aphid" is spawning a world-wide infestation from Agnes's motel room in Oklahoma. He says he was part of a four-year, government experiment at Area 51 and had bug egg-sacks injected under his skin. Is he insane? Or has he put all the pieces together and discovered, as William S. Burroughs said, "Paranoid means having all the facts." Ion Theatre's production of the Tracy Letts's thriller has some uneven acting but offers two raw performances (literally, since they play several scenes naked) by Steve Froehlich, as the incrementally manic Peter, and Hannah Logan, as Agnes, for whom Peter is myriad steps up from her husband, Jerry, who just got out of prison and is headed her way.
Worth a try.
