When their eighty-five-year-old father dies, sparring siblings Maggie and Jake must face a question: How to break the bad news to their brother Andy, who has Down Syndrome and has lived in a state home for years? Along the way, the pair find out just how much they don't know about their family and each other. It seems only Andy knows who he really is.

REVIEWS:

"An endearing new play that wisely reminds us of that all-important dictum: to treat other with as much respect and consideration as we'd like ourselves to be treated."

 The Village Voice

"Touching drama delves even deeper, questioning the bonds of family and the limits of love."
