Both the mother and boyfriend are two of the most stereotyped characters to be brought to the stage-Ellen Casey is a hysterical mess of a New York working class widow; Anthony is a Sicilian hairdresser with very little brains.

My mother told me many times about the liberation, when the young boys from the U.S. and Britain came to liberate Acireale (the Sicilian town where we live) by fighting back the Germans.
