When Beth accepts her boyfriend’s invitation to Thanksgiving, she has no idea what she is stepping into. His witty, charming, troubled Jericho NY family will serve a nice turkey dinner, along with plenty of revelation, chaos and redemption. Everything is on the table in this funny and moving play about the things that tear us apart… and the things that help put us back together.
"It is a lovely, humorous work with laughs that resolve into a meditation on the pains and satisfactions of living after a tragedy." -The New York Times
