A disastrous family reunion is the occasion for a sharp and perceptive look at what has happened to 60s idealists and their children.

Kristin Miller is an eminent and successful art historian. As a young mother she followed her politics and vocation, storming Parisian barricades and moving to Florence. Her birthday should be a time for celebration but, when her two sons deliver their versions of the past, everyone must confront the cost of Kristinā€˜s commitment to her passions.

Alexi Kaye Campbell's play Apologia premiered at The Bush Theatre, London, in 2009.
