It is 1939, and Adolph
Freitag, an unmarried Jewish businessman, lives in
Atlanta
in with four female relatives, who irritate and amuse him to
various degrees. On the surface, the play is a comedy about
how to get his niece Lala a date to the Ballyhoo dance, but
is really a complex look into prejudice, self awareness and
the social significance of religion in the South. Winner of
the 1997 Tony Award from the author of DRIVING MISS DAISY.
