NEW YORK—Steven Levenson’s new play, “If I Forget,” displays a passionate family life, with its varied tugs and pulls of affection, conflict, success, failure, and regret, against the backdrop of the political scene in the United States in the years 2000 to 2001.

Levenson’s portrayal of a Jewish family living in a white, upper-middle-class neighborhood in Washington offers something just about everyone can identify with.

The entire cast is superior.
