Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Apples reflect on the state of their family and discuss memory, manners and politics as polls close on mid-term election night 2010 and a groundswell of conservative sentiment flips Congress on its head. "Brilliant." -The New Yorker "About the loss of memory, family devotion and having an individual voice." -Associated Press "A neo-Chekhovian serious comedy, with conflicting viewpoints eloquently yet understatedly represented ... It deals provocatively and entertainingly with political realities." -John Simon, Bloomberg.com "Ms Palin did, of course, coin the cutesy phrase that gives the play its title. But far from being a four-square assault on the conservative upswing that has fed Ms Palin's popularity, Mr Nelson's play is a quiet ... examination of the state of the liberal-leaning mind of the current moment, two years into a Democratic presidency ..." -New York Times
