Synopsis: | The play is a metaphysical farce about a conflict in an Israeli family between a wedding and a funeral. Winter Wedding starts out with a deathbed promise. Right before Latshek Boobitshek's mother, Alteh, dies, she challenges her son to make sure there are family members at her funeral. He vows to deliver a tight, unified family circle. The problem is, Alteh's only relatives are her cousins, who are marrying off their daughter, Velvetsia, tomorrow. Alteh's funeral would conflict with an enterprise that has been delicately planned and cost them many precious years of scrimping and saving ("Four hundred guests, eight hundred roast chickensin the garbage!"). If they never hear of the funeral, they won't have to go, so the cousins spend the play eluding the news of their Aunt's death by evading their grieving relative. | |||||
