Anton Dudley and Stephanie DiMaggio's clunky new two-hander, starring the Tony winner Michele Pawk as a venomous mother and Ms. DiMaggio as her pious daughter, begins with bitterness and deception, followed by bourbon-fueled truth telling and betrayal. But let this be a lesson in the marvelously Teflon qualities of Ms. Pawk. Amid awkward exposition and an overabundance of hoary jokes, she makes a subpar piece of writing look better than it deserves (1:20).
