We often get plays that look at observant Jews trying to get out of their restrictive community. Lindsay gives us someone with good reasons to want to get in. That’s the kind of new version of an old story that I love.

Jen takes us to where the rubber meets the road for faith. Do you get to live or do you have to die? What do you leave and what do you take? BIG questions. Plus cake.

"This is also a play that can ONLY be about a Jewish family - remove that, and the play doesn’t work." - Julia Pascal
