Peace in the Family — Chamber Theater
A play—a family comedy about 92-year-old Lavia. The date and venue are not specified in the description.
Lavia, who lost her husband just a year ago, celebrates her 92nd birthday surrounded by her family. A curious neighbor who misses nothing happening around her is also there.
The celebration takes an unexpected turn when Doron, Lavia’s only son, gives her an unusual gift: a luxurious penthouse in a retirement home near his own house. What her son considers a convenient and caring solution, his independent mother sees quite differently.
The gift sparks a family conflict and brings to the surface unspoken tensions, fears, and expectations. Unwilling to let those around her decide how she should live, Lavia makes a radical decision that changes her own fate and the lives of her loved ones.
“Peace in the Family” is a witty, lively, and touching family comedy about parents and children, aging and independence, and a person’s right to choose their own path at any stage of life.
