About The Play
A prominent Jewish family, fractured by the politics and aftermath of October 7, gathers for a fragile reunion at a luxury Caribbean resort. But as a sudden hurricane bears down outside their bungalow, an even fiercer storm erupts within—forcing them to confront old wounds, clashing values, and the ties that may no longer bind them. In this urgent and deeply human world premiere from acclaimed playwright S. Asher Gelman (Afterglow), The Zionists: A Family Storm lays bare how identity, politics, and history can tear families apart—and the struggle to hold them together in an increasingly divided world.
