tranded in a surreal Irish Catholic household lorded over by their fathe=
r, a butcher from the Bronx, and their mother, a chipper, hope-mongering=
 wreck of a woman who can only grant chill advice, not comfort. Their da=
ughter Sheila flees her family
through marriage while Joey, a high-school dropout, opts for a career in=
 the navy and eventually returns from Vietnam. Alone, Johnny takes solac=
e in pyromania and writing about his family. As Johnny matures, he becom=
es increasingly perceptive, revealing with more and more sympathy the un=
derlying causes of so much family misery. In between Johnny's musings ar=
e raucous scenes of catastrophic violence barely held in check by each c=
haracter's submerged but instinctual need for the love of one another. I=

infully unprepared for her ultimate destination with Pop. The father is =
also transfigured in Johnny's imagination: broken, remorseful and unable=
 to identify with the mantle of fatherhood that his own traditional upbr=
inging inflicted upon him. As the forgiving vision begins, Pop and Ma da=
nce to "Danny Boy," the song to which they used to force their children =
to dance, but when Joey interrupts he is struck dead by his father. John=
ny ends the play by lighting more matches, looking back upon his vision =
of Joey's death but unable to outrun it.

t peace summit, David Mamet's latest play takes gleeful aim at everythin=

ys, podiatrists, chiropractors, Shakespeare and, of course, lawyers, alo=
ng the way.

We look forward to seeing you.
