THE STORY: In UNDER CONTROL, a brother and sister join their stepmother in Florida for their father’s burial. David is a hard-driving television producer who must be on top of every situation; Connie, a successful journalist, has a distorted sense of the power and validity of reason; while Frances, their stepmother, is an easygoing sort who is severely unruffled by things which seem to trouble her stepchildren. The crux of their present unease is how to dispose of the ashes of the deceased—a problem that is ultimately resolved in a rather surprising but mutually satisfactory manner.
