Synopsis
Roles: 3 male, 4 female + the joker, a commentator
This play describes the tyranny and the verbal as well as nonverbal struggle for power within a family where weapons like drunkenness, mental illness and suffering are used so blindly and with such unintentional cruelty that not even the family members themselves are aware of it.
