The Assembled Parties London Tickets

Richard Greenberg’s acclaimed Broadway hit makes its London debut, starring Tracy-Ann Oberman.

Step inside an elegant Manhattan apartment and witness the joys, secrets, and unravellings of one extraordinary family over two decades. The Assembled Parties, a witty and poignant comedy-drama by Pulitzer Prize nominee Richard Greenberg, opens at Hampstead Theatre this autumn, running from Friday 17 October to Saturday 22 November 2025.

Directed by Blanche McIntyre (The Invention of Love, Letters from Max), this dazzling portrait of privilege and change stars Tracy-Ann Oberman (EastEnders, The Merchant of Venice 1936, Noises Off) and Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein, Friends With Kids), and marks Greenberg’s much-anticipated Hampstead debut.

About The Assembled Parties

You would love the apartment – it’s like the sets of those plays you love, with the “breezy dialogue”.  They sort of talk that way and everybody’s unbelievably nice and, like, gracious and happy.  It’s like you go to New York and you look for New York but it isn’t there?  But it’s here…’

Former movie star Julie Bascov insists on taking Christmas seriously – despite her family’s reminders that they are in fact Jewish. Every year, she and her impossibly well-heeled husband Ben host a feast in their palatial apartment on Central Park West. In December 1980, their son and his best friend Jeff come down from Harvard to join the party, and Jeff is dazzled by the Bascov clan.  But when he returns for the same occasion twenty years later he finds that much that was sown in 1980 has been reaped in the intervening years…

Why You Should See It

  • Critically acclaimed play from one of America’s most celebrated playwrights.
  • Tracy-Ann Oberman leads the cast in this emotionally resonant drama.
  • Set in a glamorous New York apartment, blending comedy and nostalgia.
  • A must-see for fans of family sagas, sharp dialogue, and richly layered storytelling.

In The Assembled Parties, former screen star Julie Bascov celebrates Christmas in style, despite her Jewish heritage – a quirk her well-heeled husband Ben and their family indulge with grace. It’s December 1980, and their son Scotty and his Harvard classmate Jeff arrive at the Bascov’s opulent Central Park West apartment for the annual celebration. Jeff is enchanted by the effortless charm and wealth surrounding him.

But when he returns two decades later, the apartment remains – yet much has changed. Secrets have surfaced, fortunes shifted, and time has rewritten the fates of everyone involved.

Greenberg’s sharp, nuanced writing – as seen in Three Days of Rain and Take Me Out – captures both the comedy and tragedy of a family caught in the grip of time.
