This is a pretty good play about an abusive mother and the damaging effect she has on her two daughters. One of which is an ambitious kid working on a science experiment at the moment. What the mother does at the end of the play angered me. I actually like what Paul Zindel did more after this play. He went on to write a bunch of prize-winning young adult books. When I was a teenager I wasn't really into young adult but I loved these books. They were quirky and did a successful job at getting into the minds of teenagers. This play succeeds on that level too and I am anxious to watch the Paul Newman movie.
