Isaac Chocron explores with depth and humor family relationships we are born into and those we choose. "Clipper" reflects a father's opposition to his son's artistic endeavors and his plans to send him to the U.S. to -make a man of him-. "The Ultimate Bliss" and "O.K." explore alternative family structures, introducing the threesome family unit. In "The Ultimate Bliss," Paul, Leo and Pearl form a family, play word games, face stark realities and parent a child in common. In "O.K.," Mina, Angela and Frank profit from their threesome until buying and selling get out of hand; lyrics from "Madame Butterfly" suggest sacrifice and separation. Chocron's focus on family is wistful, daring, slightly scandalous and very entertaining."
