THE STORY: SONS AND FATHERS. From the Los Angeles Theatre Center. An absurdist look at how a young man deals with the death of his mother. Toby, twenty-one years old, still wears diapers and does not leave the house. His older brother, Max, and his father, constantly goad him, leaving him feeling lost and alone in his grief. His father’s masochistic girlfriend only seems to deepen his pain and cause him more confusion. In the end, the new diaper service representative, a pretty young woman, shakes him up and sets him on the path to acceptance, adulthood and a whole new world.
