This Broadway hit is about a married man in his fifties who
suddenly learns he's becoming a father again. His last child, a girl, was born 24
years ago and, considering the boob she married, he finds the prospect of another
unthinkable. His daughter and son in law live with him; she gets up for breakfast
at lunchtime and he is curiously addicted to solitaire. It's not only the impending
birth that startles him; his previously meek little wife begins to lay down the law.
There's to be a nursery, a new bath, and she's to have her own checking account. Such
dour capitulation you'll never see again.
