The truism that families come in all shapes and sizes is
illuminated with haunting beauty… in this exquisitely wrought
comedy-drama…a piercing portrait of the contemporary social
architecture, in which the distance between people can be widened
or collapsed with disorienting ease, whether it is through the
click of a keyboard, a telephone conversation or a chance
encounter. Many of the characters in the play never actually meet,
and yet we come away with a moving sense of how each individual’s
experience resonates— troublingly or happily—in the lives of almost
everyone else.
