    Highly Recommended- a must read!!!

    An electrifying and disturbing play, a piercing study of a dysfunctional relationship between a mother and daughter played out as a cruel tennis match. It a modern day "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" meets "August Osage County".

    Once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down.
