because counter-terrorism begins at home… A darkly comic intersection of foreign “black ops” and family politics. When the rebel among three odd sisters returns home to reconcile with her estranged mother, cultures clash, sibling rivalries erupt, and bombs start falling. Local playwright Patricia Milton (Reduction in Force) returns to Central Works, bringing us this incisive domestic comedy with a sharp political edge.

“Patricia Milton’s stunningly intelligent and politically provocative dramedy, a tightly-crafted play, is a tense family drama with overtones of government abuse as well as family violence.” G. Heymont, MyCulturalLandscape.com
