*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.
