It’s 2016 Paris and the Salomon family has made a warm and wonderful home
there since the 1940s. But when their son comes home beaten up because he was
wearing a yarmulke, they are forced to question their safety and sense of belonging
in the city they love. Both wickedly funny and deeply profound, this powerful new
play spans five generations of a French Jewish family to explore history, what
makes a home, and the effects of an ancient hatred and an enduring hope. Artistic
Director Loretta Greco directs Joshua Harmon’s major new American play, having
originally produced a workshop of it at the Magic Theatre prior to its New York
debut in 2022.
