The Assembled Parties Richard Greenberg

ItÂs Christmas 1980, and inside a sprawling Upper West Side apartment, Faye Bascov is about to throw an opulent Christmas dinnerÂa tradition for this secular, well-educated Jewish family. But any family gathering is an invitation for old resentments to boil over, as FayeÂs 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 familyÂs fortunes have changed, and the Bascovs now have to reckon with the legacy of their family discord.
