Joyce Carol Oates’ hilarious take-off on the traditional Southern play starts when liberated Hedda arrives home to visit the family estate, ruled by the family’s tyrannical patriarch, “Tiny” Culligan. Tiny doesn’t know very well what to make of Hedda’s intellectual sweetheart, Saul. But then, Saul doesn’t know very well what to create of Hedda’s sister, the slinky Maggie, who discovers Jewish professors extremely sexy indeed.
