- Public Abstract (ETD)
A young Jewish woman reckons with the ghosts of her past and the apparitions of the present during and after a research trip to Poland. As she is launched back and forth through history, she is forced to consider the nature of her project while a scattering of strangers embark on their own moralistic journeys.
This play explores the nature of identity, who can tell which stories, and different forms of remembrance through the personal journey of the protagonist, Leah, and a smattering of characters in interstitial scenes.
