- Public Abstract (ETD)
In and come apart, three adult daughters gather for their mother’s passing. The audience is blindfolded for the play and experience the story from the mother’s point of view – mute, blind, but able to hear. As we move further into the mother’s final night, the daughters grapple with the last two thousand years of Jewish diaspora history. The women question what it means to have “crossed the Desert” and arrive in a “New Place” that demands that they strip away their cultural heritage. Ancient family wounds are reopened as the weight of assimilation bears down on the daughters.
