LA TIMES CRITIC'S CHOICE! LA WEEKLY GO! OVATION RECOMMENDED!
A young professor is presented with the secret sonnets of his estranged dead mother. They illuminate the hidden life of this woman he thought he knew, the father who died before he was born, the uncle who accidentally killed his father, and the aunt who helped to raise him. The play traverses five decades, as it explores fratricide, homophobia, thwarted love and the restorative nature of art in the lives of a first generation Italian-American family.

Starring: Cynthia Gravinese, Paul Haitkin, Victoria Hoffman, Ed Martin, Ray Oriel and Sandra Purpuro
