A tale of two brothers, somewhat estrangedone a policeman, the other a surgeonselling off the old folks furnishings that have languored in an attic for decades. Act one reminds me of the wry wit of Neil Simon as the policeman tries to deal with a ancient Jewish appraiser. Act two gets serious when the surgeon shows up and they try to reestablish their relationship. Permeating these scenes is the policeman's marital strife. So, I guess that there is something for everyone in this play.
