Theater: ‘Bash’

Neil LaBute’s smash hit explores everyday evil in three short plays about a handful of seemingly normal people whose capacities for violence and hatred border on the sociopathic. In “”Medea Redux,”” a woman takes her 14 year-old boy to a motel to meet his father for the first time. In “”Iphigenia in Orem,”” a businessman lures a stranger to a motel room where he makes a gruesome confession. And in “”A Gaggle of Saints,”” a stylish couple attends a party on Manhattan, but after the soiree their evening turns violent. The performance, directed by Les Waters, will take place at the Mandell Weiss Forum Studio at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Tickets for students are $6.
