From the first awkward beat to the final moment of authentic connection, this play is consistently engaging. Dad hides behind the menu, literally and figuratively, in a lunch meeting he initiated with his son. There is something touching, as well as very funny, as Dad descends into food metaphors rather than conversation. It takes the Son pulling him up short to break through his defenses and create that moment of authentic connection.
