CONWAY — M&D Playhouse kicks off its 2023 season with Gina Gionfriddo’s “Becky Shaw,” a dramedy about damaged people, which opened Thursday, Jan. 19, at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse with performances Thursday through Sunday through Jan. 29.

The play opens by introducing us to Suzanna (Melissa O’Neil) and Max (Jason Stevens). They grew up together because Suzanna’s parents unofficially adopted Max, but their level of intimacy feels more than mere brother and sister.
