The Apple Family, a dramatic series of plays which first appeared ten years ago, returned last April with the premiere of a play written especially for Zoom, What Do We Need to Talk About? which Vogue described as “it’s almost like you are watching a new art form being born.” A second Zoom play, And So We Come Forth premiered in early July, amidst massive protests over the murder of George Floyd and against racism in America , as well as the anxious easing of a worldwide lockdown. These two plays have now received nearly 100,000 views from over thirty countries. Incidental Moments of the Day completes this ‘Pandemic Trilogy’ of Zoom plays . After six months of self-imposed pandemic isolation, the Apple siblings again gather on Zoom for an evening of dinner, conversation and performance, while the world continues to sputter more and more out of control, amidst anger, loss, death and a coming election.
