Overview[edit]

Woody Allen said of the plays: “It’s a broad comedy, for laughs, no redeeming social value." The plays are described as involving various family members.[3]

Santo Loquasto『designed sets for each play that suggest each author’s film persona.』The design for the Allen play is a "colorful, comical design for the motel, with its circular bed and pink Jacuzzi."[8]
