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   The critics on The Apple Family’s first Zoom play, WHAT DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT? viewed over 80,000 times in over 30 countries:  'Infinitely Poignant.'The New York Times, Critics Pick  'The First Great Original Play of Quarantine.' The New Yorker  'The best example of Zoom theatre I have watched so far.'The Guardian, Five Stars  'It’s almost like you are watching a new art form being born.' Vogue  'It couldn’t be more relevant to how we are right now.' The Washington Post  'Brilliant Theater on Zoom.' Daily Beast  'Stakes claim as first powerful drama of the pandemic.'Deadline  'Immensely tender and beautifully constructed new drama that responds directly to the current situation.'Financial Times 3

  • Where I Come From
    Richard Nelson
    WHERE I COME FROM is a play for young people to perform. There is no over-arching “message” to the piece, rather it is a play which explores the complexities and ambiguities of life.

       “In the play I portray a disgusting, selfish, provincial fellow who for twenty years has been reading works on art but understanding nothing about the subject—a man who brings despondency and gloom to all those near him, who is not accessible to laughter and music—and who, despite all this, is undoubtedly happy.” Anton Chekhov ...
