The Gabriels: Election Year in the Life of One Family, Play One: Hungry

Directed by Richard Nelson

With Meg Gibson, Lynn Hawley, Roberta Maxwell, Maryann Plunkett and Jay O. Sanders

Hungry is the first in a three-play cycle introducing us to the Gabriels of Rhinebeck, New York. These three plays unfold in real time and track the lives of the Gabriels throughout the coming presidential election year. To the rhythm of peeling, chopping and mixing, Hungry places us in the center of the Gabriel’s kitchen. The family discusses their lives and disappointments, and the world at large and nearby. As they struggle against the fear of being left behind, the family attempts to find resilience in the face of loss.
