Quiet, piercing homecoming anchors sharp revival of You Got Older
Clare Barron’s You Got Older returns in a sharp revival at Cherry Lane Theater, anchored by Alia Shawkat’s dry, incisive Mae as a twenty-something who moves home to care for her ailing father; the play shifts from quiet, almost still scenes to a late, chaotic family confrontation, exploring aging, longing, and the choices we delay. Directed by Anne Kauffman, the production is praised for its naturalistic dialogue and precise timing, making the revival feel intimate and urgent; runs through April 12.
