Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Beth Henley (Crimes of the Heart) collaborates with Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs) on a new version of this bitterly funny play. A year after the death of her son, Claire checks into a recovery center in the desert, searching for a way to cope.  When her mother, daughter and sister arrive to participate in "family week," long-dormant traumas collide with recent tragedies in surprising and deeply moving ways.  Acclaimed actors Quincy Tyler Bernstine (Ruined), Kathleen Chalfant (MCC's Wit), Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married), and Sami Gayle (Gypsy) have come together for this all new MCC Theater production.
