WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A year after the death of her son, Claire checks into a recovery center in the desert, searching for a way to cope. When her mother, daughter and sister arrive to participate in "family week," long-dormant traumas collide with recent tragedies in surprisingly comical, shocking and deeply moving ways. United in this family struggle, the women rage and reach out in an effort to reconcile their love with the way things are. Making his theatrical debut, Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Rachel Getting Married) collaborates with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Beth Henley (Crimes of the Heart) on a new version of this bitterly funny play.

In Beth Henley's Family Week, now getting a problematic production for MCC Theatre at the Lucille Lortel Theater, Claire (Rosemarie DeWitt) is a young-to-middle-aged woman suffering from a few problems: clinical depression as well as uncontrolled rage, eating disorders, PTSD, hypervigilance, and/or insomnia.
A year after the senseless and unexplained murder of her beloved son, she has checked herself in to a rigorous recovery facility in the Southwestern desert where she now awaits even greater trials: visits from her skeptical mother, Lena (Kathleen Chalfant), angry daughter, Kay (Sami Gayle), and self-absorbed sister, Rickey (Quincy Tyler Bernstine), who have come for a week of uncomfor[...]
