Eugene, the young Neil Simon, is the narrator and central character. His mind is full of fiercely fantasized dreams of baseball and dimly fantasized images of girls. The play captures a few days in the life of a struggling Jewish household that includes Eugene's hard working father, his sharp tounged mother, his older and vastly more experienced brother Stanley, his widowed aunt, and her two young daughters. Family miseries are used to raise such enduring issues as sibling resentments, guilt ridden parent/child relationships and hunger for dignity in a poverty stricken world.
