Starring Harris Yulin, Mercedes Ruehl, Darren Goldstein, and Elizabeth Marvel.

The time – the mid ’70s. The place – upstate New York. Young playwright John returns to his family’s house, seeking permission to produce the play he has written about his family. As martinis flow, so do recriminations and revelations. One of Gurney’s funniest and most poignant plays.
