A HAMPSTEAD THEATRE UK PREMIERE

THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES

By RICHARD GREENBERG
Directed by BLANCHE McINTYRE

You would love the apartment – it’s like the sets of those plays you love, with the “breezy dialogue”. They sort of talk that way and everybody’s unbelievably nice and, like, gracious and happy. It’s like you go to New York and you look for New York but it isn’t there? But it’s here…

Former movie star Julie Bascov insists on taking Christmas seriously - despite her family’s reminders that that they are in fact Jewish. Every year, she and her impossibly well-heeled husband Ben host a feast in their palatial apartment on Central Park West. In December 1980, their son and his best friend Jeff come down from Harvard to join the party, and Jeff is dazzled by the Bascov clan. But when he returns for the same occasion twenty years later he finds that much that was sown in 1980 has been reaped in the intervening years…

Richard Greenberg’s virtuosic comedy-drama was such a sensation when it played on Broadway in 2013 that it had to be extended three times. Greenberg, familiar for his plays Three Days of Rain and Take Me Out - both Pulitzer nominees - makes his Hampstead debut.

Blanche McIntyre returns to Hampstead after her productions of Letters from Max, Apex Predator and the record breaking The Invention of Love.

Tracy-Ann Oberman returns to Hampstead following sell-out successes Old Money and Godchild. Her recent theatre credits include The Merchant of Venice 1936 (RSC, West End, UK Tour), Mother of Him (Park Theatre) and Present Laughter (Chichester Festival Theatre). Television credits include Friday Night Dinner, Afterlife, It's A Sin and EastEnders.

"Imagine “Brideshead Revisited” rewritten and relocated by the young Philip Roth (with assistance from F. Scott Fitzgerald and J. D. Salinger), and you’ll have a sense of the setup of “The Assembled Parties”…" New York Times

We are grateful to Ken & Lin Craig for kindly supporting this production.
