About the Show

A North London family grapples with business failure, public scandal, and private loss.

Ryan Craig’s The Holy Rosenbergs follows a Jewish family in Edgware struggling under multiple pressures. David is fighting to keep his catering business afloat, while his wife Lesley tries to hold both him and the household together. Their daughter Ruth faces intense public scrutiny over her work investigating war crimes in Gaza for the United Nations. When tragedy strikes, the family is forced to confront grief alongside political, personal, and moral dilemmas.

“This is a serious, and at times seriously funny, bid to show how events in Gaza impact Jews elsewhere, but also a clumsy one.”

"Posner’s direction keeps the first act intentionally slow-burning...conversations that go nowhere, family rituals that feel slightly off-kilter, all building towards a second act that is far more tense and absorbing. "
