The new work from the Prayer for the French Republic playwright follows a dying woman who calls upon her grandson to write a "bitter and vitriolic" (according to press notes) play about their family, ultimately invoking past family fights, cruelty, and love. Tripp Cullman is directing.

The production features scenic design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Ben Stanton, original music and sound design by Sinan Refik Zafar, and wig and make-up design by Tommy Kurzman. Bess Marie Glorioso is production stage manager.
