Based on an original concept by Toby Singer
In 1940s Budapest, two Jewish figures rose to prominence. One was Hannah Senesh. The second was Rudolf Kastner. Yet of the two, Senesh is the only to enter the Jewish people’s pantheon of heroes. History remembers Kastner as a villain, while it lauds Senesh as one of its greatest heroes. But really: when we look back into the dark, what story will we tell? So asks the opening lyric of Budapest, Budapest, which tells the unknown story of Rudolf Kastner and asks: What is the cost of redemption? What does it mean to be a hero?

After a successful run in Washington D.C. at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and Theater J, join us for a reading of the play The World to Come by local playwright Ali Viterbi, including a post-show discussion with the playwright and team.
Synopsis: Every night at the SeaBreeze Hebrew Home for the Aging, Fanny, Barbara, Ruth, and Hal gather for their nightly “Supper Club” meeting. Over Scrabble and charades, the Supper Club gang competes, fights, falls in love, and breaks each other’s hearts. But as the world crumbles around them, they are forced to contend with questions of aging, legacy, and survival. A coming-of-age story set in a nursing home, The World to Come asks: How do we as a society care for our elders? And can you still come of age at the end of your life?
