It’s 1999, and three generations of a radical leftist family meet in New York to celebrate the law school graduation of Emma, the family’s youngest torchbearer. A public revelation about her late grandfather, a victim of the blacklist, sends Emma reeling as the family begins to fracture. Shaken and betrayed, she must weigh her fierce politics and family loyalty to decide if the ends really justify the means. Developed from scratch as part of the 2009 Fellowship Projects and directed by former WTF Directing Fellow Carolyn Cantor, Amy Herzog’s provocative world premiere questions love, family secrets, and the American Left.
