In If I Forget, Michael Fischer reunites with his sisters to celebrate their father's seventy-fifth birthday. Each deeply invested in their own ver­sion of family history, the siblings clash over everything from Michael's controversial scholarly work to the pressures of caring for their ailing parent. As destructive secrets bubble to the surface, the three negotiate how much of the past they're willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new beginning. This debut collection also includes The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin and The Language of Trees.

Steven Levenson's plays include The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin (Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Memorial Play writing Award), Core Values (Drama Desk Nomination for Outstanding Play), The Language of Trees, Seven Minutes in Heaven, and the book for Dear Evan Hansen, with music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Tony Award for Best Musical). He is a founding member of Colt Coeur and an alumnus of MCC's Playwrights Coalition and Ars Nova's Play Group.

"Steven Levenson's passionate and provoking If I Forget is a family play… Irritable and animated, the Fischers come vibrantly alive in this young playwright's funny, bruising, searching voice." -Alexis Soloski, New York Times

In the final months before 9/11, liberal Jewish studies professor Michael Fischer has reunited with his two sisters to celebrate their father's 75th birthday. Each deeply invested in their own version of family history, the siblings clash over everything from Michael's controversial scholarly work to the mounting pressures of caring for an ailing parent. As destructive secrets and long-held resentments bubble to the surface, the three negotiate-with biting humor and razor-sharp insight-how much of the past they're willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new beginning. If I Forget tells a powerful tale of a family and a culture at odds with itself.
