Every midwesterner has a story like this -- a significant other is introduced to a family member and the family member threatens to kill the significant other if s/he harms the partner. What happens when their parents meet? Karen Saari's short play takes us on a journey from friendly comradery about the woes of parenting to the tension and defensiveness a parent feels when their child is threatened, whether that threat is real or not. It's a wake-up call, especially for fathers, to think about their words and actions. Well done!
