What Do We Need To Talk About?
Published by Broadway Play Publishing
2 Male 3 Female
In the midst of our unsettled world, The Apple Family - last seen in 2014 - make their return
Though not over the dinner table but this time 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 than ever before
