Sam, an agoraphobic widower, has been accumulating junk in his home for decades. Forced to clean up his house and property—or face eviction—he reluctantly chooses the former. Theresa Rebeck’s new comedy is brought to life by Danny DeVito, who must sort through his mountain of belongings and throw out the trash he’s clung to since his wife died. DeVito’s daughter Lucy DeVito takes the role of Sam’s daughter Amelia. —Jensen Davis
