Fortunately for the two young brothers it is a temporary exile. Their father, a salesman, needs to take a long sales trip after their mother dies so he leaves them with their German grandmother, a very stern and demanding woman. Grandmother makes it abundantly clear that she is not thrilled that they are with her and puts them to work in the bakery downstairs. The two boys not only have to contend with their grandmother, but they have to live with an aunt who is a bit on the slow side, but shows them the most motherly affection they have had since their mother's death. Then, there's Uncle Louie from whom they learn the shady side of life. This Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning play about family is hailed as one of Simon's best plays.

"Laughter and tears have come together in a new emotional truth. There are moments in this play when you experience a new kind of laughter that implodes straight into your hear." ~ Newsweek
