Acclaimed Pulitzer Prize recipient Paula Vogel, known for How I Learned to Drive, unveils a brutally funny and candid new play that explores the enduring grip our families hold on us and the unexpected revelations when we confront our history.

Set in 1962 near Washington D.C., the story follows matriarch Phyllis (Jessica Lange) as she oversees her teenage children, Carl (Jim Parsons) and Martha (Celia Keenan-Bolger), settling into a new apartment. Phyllis imposes her firm convictions on her children's futures, unwilling to tolerate deviation from her expectations. Fueled by gin and cigarettes, the family navigates the evolving world. This compelling narrative blends elements of imaginative theatrics, surreal farce, and profound tenderness, offering a captivating journey that uncovers timeless truths about love, family dynamics, and forgiveness.
