"Part of the great humor of the piece are these mystifying moments where characters have the utter inability to keep talking because the idea that has been presented is so mind-blowing in its newness or its ignorance" said Will Davis, Director. "Watching these people trying to get what they want, while pretty much speaking different languages and at rapid fire, is fairly delightful. The folly of that is meant to be something we enjoy. It's also important to note that each of these characters has a very valid point, they are all right. This adds to the delight of the show and sometimes creates awkward situations, as well providing humor and humanity to the piece. It's a very awkward family reunion."
"When the artistic department and I spoke to Will about his interest in the play, he spoke so beautifully about his take on it, that we immediately realized he could bring a depth and a perspective that would really take the work to a whole new level. We knew that is was going to be innovative and different from any other production in America," said Joshua Borenstein, Managing Director.
