Brothers Ray and Billy desperately need their new job with the local crime boss. They've got a drunken, aging father and an overworked sister. This is their shot for something better for their family. But then Billy impulsively brings home a Russian prostitute. And the Big Bossman comes looking for her. A cross between David Mamet and the Marx Brothers ... Ullian's comedy flirts with all kinds of allegorical possibilities ... a suitably flaky style, an oddball naturalism that plays against the absurdities in the dialogue ... bland spoofery, improbable dialogue laced with specific detail and monologues like verbal jazz riffs ... Ullian has a distinctive voice. -Marianne Evett, The Cleveland Plain Dealer About the plays of Peter Ullian: Singularly satisfying, winning, heart rending, punchy, button-pushing, irresistible. The sense of new blood entering the mainstream achieves the palpably energizing force of a transfusion. -New York Times Quirky, crackling prose. -The Village Voice Without apology. Taut, absorbing. Great style and crisp wit. -Variety Courageous, intensely empathetic characters ... very poignant ... and truthful. -The Chicago Tribune
