| Synopsis: | brings a cache of characters to life in this touching collective of family members from Mormon stock on their various, sometimes comical life journeys. Riffing on and off the subtitle-A Good Wife Always Knows Her Place, the play centers on a young woman struggling with her familys request that she speak at her grandfathers funeral. In searching for the words and trying to find her voice for this duty, Megan reveals glimpses of her immediate families expectations, historical legacy, and rebellious and zany outtakes in this delicious collision of life smashing with conservative family values. - Debbie Minter Jackson, DC Theatre Scene | |||||
