Elaine May's stunningly great performance elevates Kenneth Lonergan's astute & moving memory play now revived on Broadway. Expert direction by Lila Neugebauer and a beautifully measured performance by Lucas Hedges add to the mix to make this a show that should not be missed.  


I was somewhat underwhelmed by the 1999 premiere of this show off-Broadway, but this revival and Ms. May's performance reveal layers of meaning and emotion in this play that made this play feel new to me.
