Anyone familiar with Durang’s work will know that he does not write for children. His best plays are good-naturedly wicked send-ups of life’s pain and absurdity. They mine comic gold from such unfunny topics as depression, divorce, alcoholism, and infant mortality (as in his “The Marriage of Bette and Boo,” which the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club produced this fall...
