Jules Feiffer's black comedy takes place in a bullet-riddled Manhattan, where in the space of six months 345 unsolved murders have left law enforcement baffled and the citizenry in a state of shock. Among the members of the Newquist family that shock takes diverse forms, from daughter Patsy's brute strength to mother Marjorie's whimpering defeat. The family's decline from motley crew of survivors to pack of gunmen is explored in director Alexis Hanawalt's solid production… Hanawalt succeeds in creating the violent, chaotic backdrop for the play and engaging us in its outcome.”
