Sypnosis:
The comic drama centers on a tight knit Italian-American family.  About a young man dealing with his two sets of overbearing grandparents, this play is witty and poignant, and addresses issues of family relationships with a satisfying, old-fashioned point of view.

For 27 years, Nick Cristano has been showing up for Sunday dinner at the home of his maternal grandparents, Frank and Aida Gianelli. His paternal grandparents, Nunzio and Emma Cristano -- "the loudest people I ever met," Nick says -- are also there to eat and to nag: "Be a man. Start a family. Don't eat Chinese food." More to the point, Emma says to Nick: "I want to see you married before I'm dead." Nick's parents moved to Fort Lauderdale, and Nick understands why.

What makes one Sunday night different is that Nick has to tell his grandparents the good news that he is up for a promotion and the bad news that a move to Seattle, Wash., is part of the deal. "Not the close-by Washington," the elderly folks quickly realize. They conspire to find a reason to keep Nick on home ground. Caitlin O'Haire, a pretty neighbour, is the reason. She is invited to dinner; the elderly folks are on their best behaviour.
