The Model Apartment

In her company debut, Amy Glazer will direct The Model Apartment by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies. In this masterful, yet rarely produced dark comedy we find a husband and wife in flight from much more than their memories of surviving the Holocaust. Their promise land in the New World, a
Florida condo, is anything but the refuge this aging couple so desperately seeks. Naomi Newman, TJT cofounder, performs with a cast of guest artists. In 1995, New York Times critic Ben Brantley wrote that Margulies’s The Model Apartment was full of “dark wit and gentle lyricism…” as well as “diabolical ingenuity and rueful tenderness.” The Village Voice commented that it was “…among the most complex and daring Holocaust plays ever seen…[Margulies] shifts
sentimentality into a dark and honest pain.”
