    This play is a drama infused with comedy about three fascinating individuals: Benny, a successful older actor who had been blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee; Norma, his actress daughter, who has always had issues struggling to achieve independance from him; and Leo, his director friend who, in the early 50's, had given his name to the committee to save himself.  The two friends have not spoken since.

    Now 30 years later, new circumstances force them to confront each other and explore their deepest feelings.  The key issue in this play is can we eventually forgive someone who committed a reprehensible act.  Is 30 years enough time?
