Good show. My seat was up top but at intermission I moved closer as there were empyty seats scattered throughout the theatre. Yes, this show is dated, but it is still good to see. I found that Frances Conroy spoke so softly at times that I could not hear her from my original seat. I also thought the staging was odd at times, with the actors speaking while their backs were to the audience. I liked the enthusiasm of the young actor's performance.

Great performances. The show is a little like "Long Days Journey" - light but this cast's immense talent made it a fine evening of theater.

This is a story of a dysfunctional family. What makes it special is the performaners, especially Martin Sheen. The play is worthwhile seeing just to watch Martin Sheen put on a stellar performance.
