a single dining room where 18 scenes from different<br />
households overlap and intertwine. Each story is<br />
focused around a different family during different time<br />
periods from 1935 to 1980, who has in their possession<br />
the same dining room furniture set, manufactured in<br />
1898. It is a multiple character, ensemble piece wherein<br />
each actor plays more than one character.<br />
