America's great comic playwright turns his hand to the serious business of memory. When ne'er-do-well Eddie dumps his two young sons on their grandmother's doorstep in Yonkers, NY in 1942, the boys are left to contend with their stern grandmother, their mentally challenged aunt and Louie, her brother, a small time hood in a strange new world called Yonkers. An unflinching coming-of-age tale that's more serious both in subject and treatment than many of Simon's plays.
