Nick, a young Italian-American, lives in New Jersey. He's single, and dinner with his four doting grandparents every Sunday is part of his set routine—even though he describes one set of grandparents as "the loudest people I ever met," and wonders "how did I ever come from these people?"
They may be loud and sometimes exasperating, but Nick's grandparents are good old-fashioned people who love their grandson very much.
Now, though, Nick has a chance at a dream job in Seattle that will take him across the country and away from his grandparents. When he finally manages to get a word in edgewise and tell his grandparents about his plans, they don't take the news well. So both sets of grandparents start scheming to keep him at home.
Part of their scheme, not too surprisingly, is introducing Nick to the beautiful and single Caitlin O'Hare.
The grandparents—Emma, Aida, Nunzio and Frank—may be hilarious but playwright Joe DiPietro maintains they're also true to life, and based largely on his own grandparents.
