The Shwake

by Brian Bornstein

Funerals are hard; they can be even harder when they bring together family members from different faiths. But as this combined shiva/Irish wake shows, they can also bring the bereaved to a place of understanding and reconciliation.

The Shwake

  • Jewish Plays Project: The Shwake by Brian Bornstein
    “

    Jewish Plays Project recommends THE SHWAKE as a Semi-Finalist for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. THE SHWAKE made a strong impact on our community of readers for the Festival of New Jewish Theatre in 2024, who connected with its current relevance and how it theatrically expressed the contest theme of healing & repair.
