8 Male 3 Female

A warm family play, about Pat Muldoon, head of a devout Catholic family

Pat lost his religion years ago when his baby son died

Ever since that time his wife has done her best to bring him back to the Church; a recent heart attack Pat suffered has made her redouble her efforts

The heart attack was brought about by a binge Pat went on when he sold the family's one piece of property; now he realizes that his dying will leave his family poverty-stricken

Pat's younger daughter is in love with his assistant, a young Mexican boy, and the mother will have none of this

The older daughter virtually supports the family; when she learns that her father sold the little piece of land that was their last security, she confronts him in a highly emotional and dramatic scene

Throughout the play the family's deep love for one another is the underlying note, giving warmth and meaning to the surface bickerings

A "heartfelt play on a serious theme" ~ NY Post
