American-born Bershala (Barrie) wants to tell the story of her relationship with her mother, Sprintze, a Holocaust survivor, but Sprintze has her own ideas about how the story should unfold. Inveterate storytellers both, these two strong, passionate women take us on a ten-year journey of transformation – from refugee to homemaker, from Believer to skeptic (and back again), from daughter to mother, from care-giver to care-receiver. A funny, poignant tour-de-force for two actresses, this play charts the mother/daughter experience with great humor, dignity, and the proper amount of disrespect.

Recommended for mature audiences.
Children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the theater.
