Joshua Harmon’s deeply personal and searingly funny play brings to theatrical life his New York childhood, caught between his hilariously eccentric but indomitable grandmother and his mother. Across thirty years his grandmother’s influence shapes him both as a person and an artist, and as the play traces the family’s relationships we see him gradually uncover their secrets. We also see thirty years of family fights, monstrous behaviour, enormous cruelty and enduring love.
