Directed by Becks Redman A pandemic-era journey into family history. In this poignant and gripping drama, Rachel delves into her grandparents' World War II survival story while displaced during the pandemic. As she immerses herself in their experiences—escaping the Nazis and traversing the battlefields of Soviet Russia—Rachel confronts her emotional battles, especially with her non-Jewish partner. This play examines the hunger to understand family history, the complexities of survival, and the often-difficult truths that come with it—a timely exploration of intergenerational trauma and identity that resonates long after the final scene.
