The Assembled Parties

Richard Greenberg’s 'The Assembled Parties' arrived at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in 2013 as a brilliant, Tony-nominated Manhattan Theatre Club highlight that offers an elegant, deeply bittersweet chronicle of high-society Jewish family life in New York City. The narrative unfolds inside a palatial, fourteen-room Upper West Side apartment across two distinct holidays separated by twenty turbulent years (1980 and 2000), tracking the slow, graceful financial decay and hidden secrets of the wealthy Bascov clan as they confront changing generational values, illnesses, and lost fortunes. Directed by Lynne Meadow, the exquisite production was anchored by a Tony-winning performance from Judith Light alongside Jessica Hecht and Jeremy Shamos.
