When a once promising novelist returns home to Palm Springs for Christmas to visit her parents, conflict ensues after she announces the imminent publication of her memoir – a book that focuses on the politically explosive and tragic death of her anti-war activist brother.
With her parents trying to cling to their Reaganesque social status, the family is torn apart and must come to grips with its painful past.
The play manages to be funny, cutting and illuminating at the same time.
Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Play and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
