This play is a stunning investigation of the sacrifices that we made to start a life in this country and the impossibility of ever really leaving your old life behind. It is funny, witty, clever and at times heart breaking. The set-up of putting this play inside of Long Day's Journey Into Night works extremely well. This is very easily producible 3-hander. I have seen it 2 times now - once over-the-top realistic and the other stripped down, both work for the piece.
