The plot of the new play, which was kept under strict wraps until just days before beginning performances, is about a secular Jewish family in modern London who are attempting to deal with their son’s choice to become a strict practicing participant in the religion they never truly embraced. With the recent Broadway transfers of shows like Jumpers, Democracy, Primo and the upcoming History Boys, the National has of late been as much of a presence in the United States as it has in the U.K.
