Corker uses the familiar but difficult and treacherous nineteenthcentury device of representing the family as a microcosm of the nation state. Opening with the extended familys awkward attendance at the funeral of Serena, aging flower child of the sixties, the symbolic conflicts build quickly. Serenas sister Merit, the harddriving, socialprogrambudgetslashing female political aparatchik and her husband Leonard, a lion of free enterprise, are hell bent on dismantling their governments social services by replacing them with a privatized human warehousing system whose track record to date has been the streamlining of the American prison system. But theres a problem: Serenas developmentally challenged friend Corker, the familys faded and failed country gentleman brother Galahad, and their octogenarian mother Florence, all become victims of Merit and Leonards success.It is Wendy Lills great skill as a playwright that actually makes this symbolism work by unravelling it into a devastating conclusion that is seen in two completely different ways by the characters and the audience. While everyone in the play is celebrating their one big happy family reunion (brought about by Merit and Leonard having seen the error of their ways), the audience, having realized the characters are all about to lose their comfortable designer house and are headed for the unheated trailer park, watches in horror as the social worker brings in huge green garbage bags of junk. This play is not what it seems at all. This is not agitprop. This is killer theatre.Cast of two women and four men.
