Years of sibling rivalry and family dissonance are spewed up in an evening-long wrangle between a brother and a sister in Hello and Goodbye by South Africa's Athol Fugard. Unlike a good family fight, a bad one sounds dull, mean and petty, though Colleen Dewhurst as the whoring sister gives a performance that is etched in sulfuric acid...
