This
Pulitzer Prize-winning play revolves around the dysfunctional family
consisting of single mother Beatrice and her two daughters, Ruth and
Tillie, who try to cope with their abysmal status in life. Shy Tillie
Hunsdorfer prepares her experiment, involving marigolds raised from
seeds exposed to radioactivity, for the science fair. She is, however,
constantly thwarted by her mother Beatrice, who is self-centered and
abusive, and by her extroverted and unstable sister Ruth, who submits
to her mother's will. All three deal (in their own way) with Nanny,
Beatrice's aging mother.
