A Pulitzer Prize winner by America’s great comic playwright, this memory play, set in Yonkers in 1942, features another battling odd couple, this time, an old woman and her 35 year old daughter. An unforgettable look at survival, family, and acceptance set against a time of war-a beautiful blend of comedy and tragedy.
