Walker's darkly comic play about a family faced with the return of their abusive patriarch ten years after they tried to kill him. The three daughters find idiosyncratic ways to deal with their dysfunctional parents. The mother's out-of-the-ordinary ideas include taking a jackhammer to the basement floor to build a cavern where the family can live better. The father, an ex-cop, commandeers his wife's project putting the whole family into survivalist mode.</div> <bR> <div> Walker said of  the play, "These warrior women and the guy trying to find a place with them again are all working to survive in a threatening environment, struggling to make it in the world ... an attempt to hang in there."</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U>THE CAST</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Nora</B><B>, the mother . . . . . . . . . .
