More about the book

The play intricately explores the façade of a seemingly perfect family through a darkly comedic lens. Set during a winter afternoon, a prosperous couple, Kelly and Clay, recount a troubling Thanksgiving gathering that reveals deep-seated issues within their family, including failed marriages and infidelity. The arrival of a Muslim cab driver prompts a deeper examination of their self-delusions and the emptiness of their liberal ideals. With sharp satire, the narrative critiques the American upper-middle class, exposing the lies that mask their moral failings.
