A day in the life of Ted and Sparky Snyder dramatizes what happens to an American couple that strives for the good life but finds only failure amid the rat race. Ted comes home after making the biggest sale of his life to find his children screaming obscenities and his wife contemplating suicide.

"Not since Death of a Salesman has the despair of middle age
been dramatized with such absorbing intensity. Through two acts of
searing exposure, with lots of little jokes along the way to ease the
bitterness, Jay Broad works for an archetypical history of the canker
that may curdle any family's American Dream." - The Associated Press.
