Synopsis
Written for a cast of five men and two women.
A savagely comic portrait of an archetypal, middle class family, Ozzie, Harriet, David and Ricky, falling apart.
When David comes back from the war blinded, he is pursued by furies that haunt him.
Wanting to return their son to normal, Ozzie and Harriet attempt their best parenting.
But David grows even more vengeful.
Finally it's up to guitar-playing, fudge-eating Ricky to save the day by enlisting the family in a tidy little atrocity all their own.
