[h3]Synopsis[/h3]

Set in 1950s during the McCarthy era, a Brooklyn family is in the red glare of the anxiety engendered by the paranoia of the times.

Feiffer’s play reminds us that some viruses never die. They need only genuine fear to allow them to rise with renewed force. The fear of terrorism has already led to erosions of our personal freedoms and a contraction of constitutional rights.

A bullying form of patriotism is too often the norm. Many of us who love this country are filled with anguish about the easy way in which its great virtues are being thrown away. Many of us remember the 1950s.

Remember, Feiffer urges us. Remember.
