    Nicki drives her 84-year-old grandmother down to Florida every year. But this year will be the last trip they take. Nano longs for the world she used to know, and Nicki is hell bent on dragging her into the present. NANO AND NICKI IN BOCA RATON is a play about the genteel anti-semitism of the South and the special way that grandmothers and granddaughters fight and forgive each other.

    Press Quotes

    The critics on Sherry Kramer’s plays:

    DAVID’S REDHAIRED DEATH: “Sherry Kramer’s extraordinary play … is like a puzzle: after slowly and painstakingly connecting a series of dots, one uncovers an integrated image out of what appeared to be chaos.” —The Chicago Reader

    THINGS THAT BREAK: “… a terribly difficult, painfully beautiful play … This is a wildly imaginative piece of work.” —Nelson Pressley, The Washington Times

    THE WALL OF WATER: “THE WALL OF WATER quickly bursts through the dam of conventional theater for two hours of the kind of inspired and breathtaking chaos so rare on America’s stages that we may have forgotten the word for it. The word is farce.” — Margaret Spillane, New Haven Independent

    WHAT A MAN WEIGHS: “… its view of sexual politics becomes more and more complex, funny, and biting.” —Time

    WHEN SOMETHING WONDERFUL ENDS: “As timely as it is revealing, and as witty as wise.” —Austin Chronicle

    Play Description

    When Thomas D’Angelo pays a long overdue visit to his Italian grandparents, he soon finds himself caught in the middle of the ongoing, if farcical, war between the two. His grandmother, intent on plumping him up with home cooking, is sure she’ll win him over to her side. His grandfather, meanwhile, surreptitiously schemes to make Thomas his ally. Never mind that Thomas has come, in part, to seek advice over the strained relationship he has with their son, his father. He has his hands full just trying to restore calm to the household. But as he works to negotiate a peace between his grandparents, he finds within himself the possibility to resolve the struggles he faces with his father. With echoes of John Patrick Shanley’s Moonstruck and Joe DiPietro’s Over the River and Through the Woods, GRANDMA SERAFINA’S is as marvelous and memorable a confection as her famous tiramisu.
