"For those of you just tuning in, Thanksgiving is already in progress here at Wembly kitchen. The stands are nice and full, it's quite a crowd that's gathered. They're in for a real treat." And so, in this lively take on how family is played, over time and memory and through generations... a pair of sports announcers calls a holiday dinner.

A Beautiful Day in November on the Banks of the Greatest of the Great Lakes was developed in The New Georges Jam, a "performance gym" for early-career playwrights and directors. The play originally premiered in May 2014 as part of the New Georges Jam On Toast play festival at Dixon Place. Great Lakes is Kate Benson's first produced play.
