THE STORY: By all accounts, Judge Lawrence Driver was a powerhouse on the bench but a failure at home. Now retired and widowed, Lawrence volunteers to help Tanya, a young African American single mother caught up in legal red tape - and the kind of woman he regularly put behind bars. But do-overs don't come easy for either Lawrence or Tanya, especially when race, class and the long-simmering resentments of Judge Driver's adult children boil to the surface in this searing and surprising family drama.
"[A] tale of angst, dysfunction and guilt?absorbing?crackles with biting humor." - NY Times. "Belber stacks the deck neatly?[and creates] distinctly uncomfortable yet profoundly telling barbs?fascinating and keenly poignant." - BackStage. "How refreshing - a dysfunctional family drama in which you actually give a damn who gets written out of the will." - Variety. "Belber is deft at dissecting the personal and political jumble?" - Time Out NY.
