Synopsis The third and final leg of Tom Dudzick's trilogy of plays about the Pazinskis—a Polish-Catholic family living in Buffalo, N.Y., during the 1950s, '60s, and, in this installment, the '70s. This offering, which unfolds during the infamous Blizzard of '77, dubbed "the blizzard of the century" has a more decidedly serious tone than Over the Tavern and King O' the Moon. The family patriarch has died, and mom Ellen is selling Chet's Bar & Grill and its upstairs apartment— the family's home—and moving on. The question for her three 30-something kids is: What will become of 31-year-old Georgie, the fourth sibling? Born mentally retarded, he has begun to develop a memory-loss condition.
