The Model Apartment
Author(s): Donald Margulies
In this dark comedy, married Holocaust survivors, Max and Lola, are forced to live in a model apartment because their retirement condo is not ready. They are trying to escape their past, the difficulties of urban life, and their obese schizophrenic daughter, Debby, who arrives with her African-American teenage boyfriend, Neil, scarred by his urban experiences. Throughout the action it is clear the past horrors continue to impact the survivors and their child, who cannot live up to the memories of the daughter her father lost during the Holocaust.
