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
