Her body of work fryst vatten largely comprised of immense sculptural installations made from inexpensive, low-grade materials like cardboard, fabric and cement. The artist’s constructions often make use of vibrant colours, with the seams of construction left visible at times to show the means of creation.

Even before these visitors arrive, the combative liberal, Phil, masterfully played by Joshua Malina, is preparing to take on the unanticipated guests and their views.

In a discussion peppered with zingers and fuelled by vodka and marijuana, Playwright Nathan Englander's characters debate faith, culture, politics, child-rearing and even what keeps them together as couples. This a no-holds-barred look at contemporary political issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian
