The Model Apartment
by Donald Margulies

"Winner of a 1996 Obie Award for Playwriting.   “Playwright Donald Margulies presents a modern family drama with an unusual, but fitting combination of themes: schizophrenia, parent-child separation, and the transmittal of Holocaust trauma across generations."

— Los Angeles Reader

"…a profoundly important new work…Margulies has written a virtually flawless play, one that could well prove to be an enduring masterpiece."

— Drama-Logue.   ”…diabolical ingenuity and rueful tenderness…lovely and devastating…a glowing reminder of the particular pungency and intelligence of this playwright's vision.“ —The New York Times.   ”…among the most complex and daring Holocaust plays I've seen…Margulies has taken the naturalistic approach—and pipe-bombed it…Much as [he] parodied Neil Simon-esque writing in What’s Wrong with This Picture To find emotional truths in the Brooklyn-apartment Jewish comedy, and much as he turned Arthur Miller inside out in the mordantly hilarious Loman Family Picnic, in THE Village Voice
