My Dead Uncle's Porn Collection is solo show about a strange, abusive relative and trying to understand why he did what he did. Barbara looks at her worst childhood experiences with humor and irony, then jumps ahead to when she reluctantly becomes a caregiver for her perpetrator in his old age. Has he changed? Or do his proclivities still manifest themselves? They do. And it’s weird. After he dies, she has to clean out his house. Is there anything there to explain why he was the way he was? You bet. And his porn isn’t the strangest thing she finds.
"Compelling!"
