Really? I was always led to believe that Sorry was the final installment, and that the trilogy would have a full run in rep at the Public.

PlayItAgain isn't really breaking news here--it was announced in Patrick Healy's NY Times article last week:

The fourth Apple play, which he has not started writing, will be set against the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination on Nov. 22, 2013. Mr. Nelson, who lives and works in Rhinebeck, is also directing the plays, and the same five actors have been in all the productions so far. (A sixth character, the boyfriend of one of the siblings, was cut from “Sorry” because the actor had a scheduling conflict.)

I thought a fourth show was always public knowledge. I found out about this last year.

Regardless, I will keep seeing these shows for as long as they make them. The first was good. The second was absolutely wonderful. Sorry was fantastic as well, just maybe not as fantastic as Sweet And Sad. Seeing these productions with the same family and same actors each year is a tradition now that I will be sad to eventually and inevitably lose.
