This short play highlights one night in the life of the dysfunctional Finch family, made up of Frank--the bullying father, Darlene-- the loving but crazy mother, and Merlin--their nerdy bassoon-playing son.

Press Reviews

"First presented on a double bill with A Great Career, this enormously funny and imaginative play offers an incisive and lethal caricature of family life in suburbia.   “…A wonderfully gifted comic sense"

— The New York Times

"…The best written play by a new playwright this season."

— Jersey Journal
