How to Write A New Book for the Bible October 28, 2012

'Write about what you know.' Bill Cain took that advice, and this is the dazzling result--a play about a family so appealing that you want to find a comfortable chair and settle down in their living room. When Bill comes back home to care for Mary, his often-maddening (but always funny) mother, he tells the family story as it unfolds--in evocative flashbacks. The memories are both bitter and sweet, for this is a family with its own set of commandments. They squabble, yes, but even their arguments are beguiling.
