What Do We Need To Talk About?

In the midst of our unsettled world, The Apple Family, last seen in 2014, return; though not over the dinner table, but via Zoom. This hour-long play picks them up in the midst of their now suspended and quarantined lives. They talk about grocery shopping, friends lost, new ventures on a hoped-for horizon, all during a time when human conversation (and theater) may be more needed that ever before.  



The Apple Family plays:

  "No previous works of theater have been topical in the resonant and specific ways of the Apple Family plays... They are a rare and radiant mirror of the way we live..."

Ben Brantley, The New York Times
