The Holy Rosenbergs is a play set in a Jewish, north London family home in Edgware. A two-act play, this show follows one family, the Rosenbergs, as grief, financial instability, and political upheaval threaten to tear their household apart. David, the man of the house, is trying to rescue his family’s catering business from failure. Lesley, the mother, is trying to keep her husband and family from fully collapsing. Their daughter, Ruth, has become a target due to her work on a UN investigation into the alleged war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. As one evening unfolds, painful truths spill out, threatening every ounce of stability they’ve tried to uphold.
First premiered at the National Theatre in 2011, The Holy Rosenbergs returns with a provocative, incredibly relevant revival.
