A dying woman calls her grandson and asks him to write a play about their family. “But I want you to promise me something,” she says. “Make it as bitter and vitriolic as possible." In this searing, funny and deeply personal play, the author of last season's Prayer for the French Republic recreates thirty years of family fights, monstrous behavior, enormous cruelty and enduring love. Directing is Trip Cullman (Choir Boy, Murder Ballad). Presented by Manhattan Theatre Club.
