Press Reviews
"This drama brings sensitive observation and minor-key humor to painful situations that many of us will recognize from our own families…its poignant conclusion will have resonance for many in the audience.” —The New York Times. “Superb…tightly focused piece about a family of three…Graham zeroes in on recognizable truths.” —Chicago Tribune. ”The characters are well-drawn, the dialogue is pungent…The script's frequent time shifts from present to past and back again are handled with a telling simplicity…may well flood your emotions with its emotional truth."
