![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cathy had affairs that resulted in two children: Jory, by her abusive dancer boyfriend who died in a car crash (a departure from the books) and Bart, the result of a revenge-motivated affair with her mother’s second husband. Since their imprisonment, surviving Dollanganger twin Carrie committed suicide by eating a poison donut – the same way her brother Corey died at the hands of their scheming mother. To pass the time, Chris and sister Cathy had sex. To recap, as children, Chris and his three younger siblings were locked in the attic of the family mansion by their religious zealot grandmother, unbeknownst to their misogynistic grandfather, so that the kids’ money-hungry mother, Corrine, could inherit the family fortune. His increasingly odd and secretive behavior cause his parents to reminisce about what they were like at that age. Jory is a hunky would-be dancer but young Bart is small for his age and picked on school. On the surface, everything seems idyllic. “If There Be Thorns,” adapted by Andy Cochran and directed by Nancy Savoca, picks up as Cathy (Rachel Carpani) and Chris Sheffield (“Sex in the City’s” Jason Lewis) and their two children, Jory (Jedidiah Goodacre) and Bart (Mason Cook), try to blend in as an ordinary family. ![]()
