ABOUT THE PLAY

In Birthright, Jonathan Spector — whose Eureka Day was a celebrated Broadway success — brings his trademark wit and piercing insight to a story that couldn’t be more urgent.

What begins as a reunion among old friends — once bound together by a Birthright trip to Israel — becomes, over the span of nearly two decades, an exploration of identity, memory, and what it means to belong. As these friends grow up and the world around them shifts in ways they could never have imagined, they find themselves confronting seismic questions: How do we carry the weight of history? How do we define who we are, and who we want to be? And what happens when the narratives we inherit no longer fit the lives we’re living?
Set against the generational ripples and global aftershocks of October 7th, Birthright is as funny as it is poignant, as intimate as it is epic. This world premiere is more than a night at the theatre — it’s a historic moment of collective reflection.

Don’t miss the play everyone will be talking about.
