Meet Gardner and Fanny Church, an elderly WASP couple in Boston, and their artist daughter, Mags. This endearing comedy explores the origins of the prickly relationship between the Churches and their daughter, while poking gentle fun at the world in which they live. Recommended for ages 15 & up.
“A radiant, loving and zestfully humorous play . . . distinctly Chekhovian. Howe captures the same edgy surface of false hilarity, the same unutterable sadness beneath it, and the indomitable valor beneath both.” – Time
