Overview

Using the storm as dramatic backdrop, the play focused on four businessmen who, caught up in the vagaries and viciousness and petty jealousies of office politics, rashly decide to carpool home in the midst of the blizzard. [...]mostly I relied on stories from my folks and from everybody I met who was, shall we say, of a certain '67 blizzard age.'\" Steinhagen's family dates back to the 1880s here, and he may have a genetic predisposition for storytelling, since relatives of both his parents long ago owned South Side neighborhood taverns, places that echo with stories.\\n
