*SYNOPSIS*
The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the
place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any
and all special occasions. The action is comprised of a mosaic of
interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching, some rueful—which, taken
together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the
upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages
with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from
little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish
housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a
father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from
boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother
doesn't recognize her own sons at Christmas dinner; a daughter, her
marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc. Dovetailing
swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a
theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and
abundant humanity.
