Production Notes
Based on playwright R. T. Robinson’s family history in Bastrop, Louisiana: three brothers, including his father, served during WWII while their wives shared a home with their mother-in-law; according to CST’s original page LIFE magazine sent a reporter. Franci Hart’s March 28, 1999 Oklahoman review “Cover of Life Excellent Production” praised the cohesive ensemble and Terry Veal’s direction. Original source spells Renee’ Krapff and Lynn Bates as transcribed.
