A shattering powerhouse of a play

I was completely transported by this play. It reveals with such wit, such familiarity, such understanding, the deeply dysfunctional and flawed state into which a family can fall. I was surprised by how effortlessly a recording of a stage performance can paint all sorts of vivid theatrical scenes in my head. Felt like being at the theatre, a tonic for these times.
