| Tommy hates his job as a bartender, but also loathes coming home. His wife Veronica is pregnant with another man's child, and can only confide in Lydia, her friend at the textile factory. Lydia's husband Chucky has lost his job, and is in no hurry to find a new one. In this savagely comic drama, set in an American landscape of economic desolation, the two troubled couples struggle to find meaning, hope, and connection, in a world bereft of all these things. |

| "In this particular play, all the choices Caridad Svich makes are so special. The last four scenes are simply magical. The play has the tormented element of emotional violence, but it is also full of tenderness and poetry." |
| --Maria Irene Fornes, in The Village Voice |
