"One of our most valuable playwrights."—Time Out New York "A hideously funny tabloid noir. . . . Letts' balance of irony and empathy continues to impress."—LA Weekly A definitively dysfunctional family gives in to its basest instincts and is forced to face hidden truths in this twisted modern-day fairy tale by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of August: Osage County.
