Synopsis
The dizzying adventure begins in the east-end home of Nora, where she and her three daughters—Elizabeth, Mary Ann and Gail—confront a pattern of bizarre criminal activity and meddling cops that threaten to uproot the sanctity of their complex, albeit tenuous, family structure. Nora’s son-in-law, Junior, has been beaten up by a pair of vicious crooks and now the police are interrogating her about the family’s shady criminal connections. The ever-neurotic Mary Ann has just left her husband and child to sort through the confusing crossroads of life, while a man who may or may not be Nora’s husband, Tom, continues to live in the room upstairs. Elizabeth, the compulsively busy workaholic lawyer, leaves her practice to help sort through the chaos and protect her family, but nothing is quite as it seems in this bitingly smart play.
