- Abstract / Summary
- It’s Christmas 1980, and inside a sprawling Upper West Side apartment, Faye Bascov is about to throw an opulent Christmas dinner – a tradition for this secular, well-educated Jewish family. But any family gathering is an invitation for old resentments to boil over, as Faye’s sister-in-law Julie and the extended family have plenty to hash out. Flash-forward to 2000, and the apartment, now much shabbier, reflects how the family’s fortunes have changed, and the Bascovs now have to reckon with the legacy of their family discord. A 2013 Drama Desk Award-winner and recipient of three Tony nominations.Recorded before an audience at UCLA’s James Bridges Theater in November 2016.Directed by JoBeth WilliamsProducing Director Susan Albert LoewenbergMatthew Arkin as BenWilson Bethel as Scotty and TimDana Delany as JulieSeamus Dever as JeffJustin Huen as the voice of HectorZoe Perry as Shelley and TimmySusan Sullivan as FayePeter Van Norden as MortAssociate Artistic Director, Anna Lyse Erikson.
