Written by Paula Vogel, this West Coast Premiere is set in 1962 America, where matriarch Phyllis maintains a rigid blueprint for her family's success while her fiercely independent children, Carl and Martha, are prepared to tear up her script. Fueled by gin, smoke, and stubborn love, the highly theatrical production blends surreal farce with heartbreaking tenderness, exploring the cost of authenticity and the power of forgiveness.
