Two things you don't talk about at dinner

the long version

Cast: 8 female, 5 male Myriam's annual Passover Seder, a multicultural mix of family and friends, which threatens to explode as the conversation turns wildly funny then sobering as the characters address increasingly volatile topics of religion and politics over the course of the evening. Myriam's bond with her liberal daughter is tested, as is her lifelong friendship with Sam, a Palestinian American who's just returned from the Middle East. A Buddhist, a Christian, an Atheist – all have their say. Her husband, Jack, tries hard to keep the sanctity of tradition… But in this celebration of "freedom from bondage," hilarious and poignant, none of the guests escape unscathed. A deeply funny yet at times painful play, Two Things You Don't Talk About At Dinner should appeal to broad audiences and shed some light on how difficult it is to talk about hot button issues in today's world, even, or perhaps especially, amongst family and friends.
