Donald Marguilles’ What’s Wrong with this Picture is the story of mournful dry-cleaner Mort, whose wife Shirley recently died after choking on a tough piece of moo shoo pork. It opens at the end of Shiva, Morty’s overbearing mother is anything but supportive and insists that he get on with his life. His son Artie is distant and brooding, and his father is a few cards shy of a deck. Eventually Morty and Artie are left alone, but then the doorbell rings. The two men are faced with a surprise that upends their grief and offers everything they could have hoped for — or does it?
