Add mother, who has her own ideas about how the family should be run

"Contains an emotional force that approaches terror. . . . Is Bea the monster she seems? . . . Is Fred an insensitive hulk who deserves to have his dreams trampled by a wife he's unwittingly repressed? Where does love fit into all this?" ~ Newsweek

"Furth creates convincing people and he appreciates the timeless give and take of family life, its perilous candor and its resilience" ~ Time

"Wonderfully real characters. . . . A play about real things [with] honest emotions . . . couched in comedy" ~ WABC TV
