Miller is gifted enough as a writer and <font COLOR="#FAFF59">so utterly engaging as a storyteller</font> to make us feel what he is describing and, many times, to <font COLOR="#FAFF59">laugh uproariously at it as well</font>. (The tale of 5-year-old Zelly dropping the F-bomb  indeed, the mutha F-bomb  on his grammy and its effect on the lady who, when she was rearing papa Zell, snacked on ground glass and routinely spit out F-bombs in every direction, is a riot.) Miller's work here reveals that <font COLOR="#FAFF59">the theatre's gain is definitely stand-up comedy's loss</font>." </blockquote> Check out a one-minute taste of the show: <object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b_0XkOgD-_Q&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b_0XkOgD-_Q&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object> <p> Directed by HPT Artistic Director Ken Webster, the show runs at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, April 2 - 18, three weeks only.
