    This play kept me guessing until the very end. It's really not your typical multi-generational family mental health play. No one had to be taught how serious mental health has to be taken. No one had to be called out for their problematic language. I feel like this play started at a place where mental health care was normal and valued and I really appreciate that. Plus it's a pretty darn funny play.
