    In this touching and hilarious play, Friedman reinvigorates the oft-explored relationship between single parent and teenaged child with a fresh and multifaceted perspective. All of his characters are fully-drawn, deeply flawed, and incredibly endearing. This is a captivating play and a gift for any actor and/or director.
