The Twilight of the Golds
by City Theatre Company
Dec. 27 - Jan. 06 (2023)
If your parents knew everything about you before you were born, would you be here? That is the question posed in Jonathan Tolins’ critically acclaimed Off-Broadway play Twilight of the Golds. Suzanne’s family is ecstatic to hear she is expecting her first child. But when a groundbreaking test reveals something much more than expected, the news tears them apart, forcing the entire Gold family to confront issues of tolerance, evolution, identity, and the limits -and boundlessness - of love. Taking on questions of individual rights and choice with operatic proportions, this evocative, eerily topical morality play may well be more relevant now than ever.
