PLAY DESCRIPTION: Somewhere in America, in a typical suburban restaurant on a typical night, Sam and Nicole first meet. Sparks fly. And so begins an expansive tale that traverses five generations of a modern family, from first kiss to final goodbye. A stunning, big-hearted play that spans nearly eighty years in roughly ninety minutes, The Big Meal tells the extraordinary story of an ordinary family. “A life-in-overdrive comic drama…Dan LeFranc’s snappy dialogue captures the tumultuous tenor of family gatherings.” -Charles Isherwood, New York Times. “Packed with humanity and humor, The Big Meal dishes up laughs and tears.” – New York Daily News. “Sharp and stunning…Touching and engrossing…You’ll recognize something of yourself or your family members in these people.” – Associated Press
