About the Play

& Sons tells the story of three young men, living in New Jersey, attempting to salvage a boutique construction company after the business’s former patriarch, Bob DiSanti, dies suddenly of a heart attack. The DiSanti construction crew includes: Bob’s second son, Dom DiSanti, a hapless, highly-amicable, stoner, Bob’s protégé, Juan Alvarez, a handsome, type-a, natural born leader, and Bob’s first son Anthony, a physically imposing stoic who has just returned to Jersey after a mysterious seven year hiatus inspired by Bob’s heavy-handed parenting style. Tensions increase as Anthony and Juan fight for control of the company, tearing lovable, ill-starred Dom in half by forcing him to choose between his biological brother and his best friend. All three men stifle their own emotional needs, all while trying to enjoy sub sandwiches, burritos, pizza, etc. on their well-deserved lunch break. Ultimately, this play is a meditation on masculinity and how (particularly, blue collar) young men use degrees of touch to process their feelings.
