First performed in 1980, the play had its most iconic production 2 years later at the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago featuring Gary Sinise and John Malkovich which later transferred to Broadway and was filmed for the television show American Playhouse, broadcast 1984.
The play centers around two brothers, Austin and Lee, who reunite at their mother's house while she is away in Alaska. Austin is busily trying to write a screenplay but finds himself dragged into his brother's wheelings and dealings with Saul, Hollywood producer. Tensions soon boil over in the heat of the southern California summer.
