Tears in the Parlor

By: Tommy Claffey

Tears in the Parlor is a timepiece of a functionally dysfunctional family during the 1940s, in Boston. It's based on real people, with true stories, and events. It is meant to be a lighthearted, sometimes comical overview of another era, the people who lived it, and many of the entities that were so prevalent then, and are now gone. With no intended moral message, Tears in the Parlor is simply meant to be entertaining via a visit back in time, and with a feeling of being part of the family.
