This is an uproarious, brilliantly provocative farce that brings the gifts of a quintessentially American playwright to bear on a particularly American dilemma. Frank and Emma are a quiet, respectable couple who raise cows on their Wisconsin farm. Soon after they agree to put up Frank's old friend Haynes, who is on the lam from a secret [government?] project, they are visited by Welch, Haynes' unctuously terrifying pursuer. His aggressive patriotism puts Frank, Emma, and Haynes on the defensive, transforming a household in America's Dairyland into a hellish chaos governed by a brand of conformity wherein the distinction between the personal and the public is dangerously blurred.
