Nick travels home to his family with his adopted teenage son Gerome to meet Gerome’s birth mother. No one quite knows how to handle Gerome’s recent schizophrenia diagnosis, but they don’t let that stop them from trying.  This touching, hilarious, and honest play gives a deeply authentic picture of mental illness, at the same time revelling in the ‘ordinary craziness’ and intimacy of family.
