Kindertransport
by Diane Samuels
February 25th - March 21st, 2010
Thursday - Saturday at 7:30 PM, Sundays at 2 PM
Description
Between 1938 and the outbreak of the war, almost 10,000 children were sent by their parents from Germany to Britain to 'safety and security'. Most never saw their parents again. The cost of that 'safety and security' is portrayed in Diane Samuels' play Kindertransport.
Kindertransport weaves the story of 3 generations of women whose lives are intertwined when 9 year old Eva is sent from Germany to Manchester in 1938. The play is set in attic of middle aged Evelyn in the mid 80s. Looking for items for her daughter's new apartment, boxes are unpacked, traumatic memories penetrate the present, and family secrets are revealed.
