    After a highly successful season of his work, New City Stage is producing the newly revised version of Mastrosimone's first play, originally titled The Understanding. Set in the 1970s, Italian-American patriarch Agostino Malatesta is told he must move out of the Trenton home he built with his own hands to make room for a new highway. When he refuses to leave, his estranged son and new fiancée show up, and the battle of the wills begins. Long before eminent domain became a legal debate, this play deals with the emotional ramifications of progress overtaking tradition. ''A powerful, intergenerational dramedy, with ideas and characters that deliciously inform each other.'' - Variety
