Summary
  1. "This critically acclaimed play cycle about loss, memory and remembrance follows the Apple family of Rhinebeck, New York, as they grapple with events both personal and political in their immediate present: the 2010 election (That Hopey Changey Thing), the tenth anniversary of 9/11 (Sweet and Sad), Obama's reelection (Sorry), and the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination (Regular Singing). Delicately constructed and precisely observed, this quartet of plays-- each of which premiered at The Public Theater on the day it was set-- is a masterpiece of stage naturalism and a powerful reminder of the theater's unique capacity for civic dialogue and public communion"--Amazon.com.
