We All Fall Down But Your Family Can Keep You from Being Drowned

with Jacques S. Fleury


Date:	2/8/2020 - 2/16/2020
Time:	Sat, Feb. 8, 2020 at 8:00 PM
Location:	Calderwood Pavilion (at the Boston Center for the Arts - BCA), 527 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02116
Category:	Arts/Entertainment
Summary:	A play about celebrating and challenging Jewish religious traditions and its effects on contemporary family dynamics...
Details:	Linda and Saul Stein still live in the Westchester home where they raised their two beautiful daughters. But when Saul unexpectedly retires, Linda summons the family to celebrate Passover for the first time in decades. Linda tends slightly toward the theatrical (okay, a lot), and their family has never been particularly religious (okay, not at all). So their comic attempts to bring the Seder to life go from riotous to heartwrenching in this play from Huntington Playwriting Fellow and Somerville resident Lila Rose Kaplan, directed by Obie Award winner Melia Bensussen. Can this family come together, or will an age-old tradition tear them apart? "Until we know the ways in which we are enslaved, we will never be set free!" Exclaimed one of the ebullient characters from the uproariously hilarious yet heartfelt play "We All Fall Down". This production is teeming with subtle and implied nuances that kept the production's trajectory tense and the audience engaged on a precipice of deduction, curiosity and inquiry. The play attempts to and successfully renders traditional religious Jewish culture only to veer in and out of its normative practices.; which kept the plot energetic and deliciously unpredictable. You will encompass lines like: "I'm not white, I'm Jewish!" as accusations fly in the direction of the Patriarch for having had benefited from straight white male privilege that inexorably contributed to his success. You will also encounter Star Trek outfits, adult children in undersized tutus and don't forget to bring your yoga mat for there will be plenty of people suspended in the downward dog position... Namaste, ok?! Written BY LILA ROSE KAPLAN \| DIRECTED BY MELIA BENSUSSEN EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND \| JAN. 10 � FEB. 16, Approximate run time: We All Fall Down plays in approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes with no intermission. I highly recommend seeing this play and I rate the production a 5 out of 5 stars!
