...play's denouement comes with the arrival of Sister Mary's former students who returned for a reunion of sorts. The group reads like a Laundry list of Catholic casualties-an unwed mother, an agnostic who's had two abortions, a homosexual and an alcoholic wife beater who constantly wets his pants.

The events in Edna Spalding's life, for instance, may be based on what happened to his great-grandmother, but her character contains aspects of his mother, his wife and, as he has carefully pointed out, some of Sally Field's background.
