THE GREATEST

First play in a trilogy developed at Sundance Theatre Lab and Keen Playwrights Lab

December1963. The Neve family and their neighbors on the south shore of Long Island are getting ready for Christmas. It’s not just the new year that’s coming, but overwhelming change in America. Murder and violence, homophobia, PTSD, the longing for creative fulfillment and stirrings of feminism all suffuse this story, set to the music of Miles Davis, about a community struggling with how to move forward when they can’t see what’s ahead.
