For the stage. At turns, comic and heart-wrenching, The Last Seder shows a family with four grown daughters gathering for the last family seder in the home where they all grew up. Their father, who is increasingly lost to the bewilderment of Alzheimer's, is about to be placed in a home. The mother, with-it and feisty, has plans, plans that she has not yet shared with her daughters, for a new life. The daughters and their assorted partners are complex, funny, acerbic, and - at the end of the day- a loving family. 11 characters: 6 female, 5 males.
