An old Italian lady, whose husband deserted her 15 years ago, dwells in her shabby apartment holding court for those who come through her unlocked door.
Then one day, a purposeless, not very bright and violence-prone young man appears, bringing a brutal end to it all.
Press Reviews
"Dramatic... the play is deliberately underwritten... an aged couple unable to communicate verbally; a middle‐aged couple unable to communicate physically, and a sad, guarded young man, who enters their lives emotionally yet leaves them unchanged."
— Mel Gussow, The New York Times
