You could make a case for that - when the play ends Burstein's character is 63 - but this isn't a case where a present-day narrator is stepping into the past (such as DANCING AT LUGHNASA). All the characters address us in the present tense, and when the past is discussed it isn't acted out (as in DEATH OF A SALESMAN). So I personally took it in as if we're supposed to be seeing a son who's 40 and a father who's 70, and yet Burstein and Lane felt more like siblings than father and son.

I realize this is very subjective.
