Description: A Pulitzer Prize winner by America's great comic playwright, this memory play is set in a Yonkers in 1942 features another battling odd couple this time an old woman and her 35 year old daughter played in the hit Broadway production to great acclaim by Irene Worth and Mercedes Ruehl. Bella, the daughter, is a retarded, pathetically affectionate and more than enough for Grandma Kurnitz to manage. As the play opens, son Eddie deposits his two young sons on the old lady's doorstep. He is in debt and needs to go on an extended sales trip to make some money. The boys must contend with Grandma, a stern, tough old lady; with Bella and her secret romance, and with Louie, her brother, who may have mob connections. Gradually, the mood deepens and darkens as the boys endure life with a family of emotionally crippled people. While the children are only temporarily exiled in Yonkers, the rest of their sad, funny family is truly lost.
