Directed by: Yolanda Fleischer
Ran January 19-February 13, 2005 |
The life stories of a Jewish mother, her daughter and granddaughter are
explored in from "Door to Door." The comedy focuses on three generations
of the same family, spanning 65 years, from 1935 to the present. The
play begins in the present, with one of the women sitting shiva for her
husband, when something prompts her to reflect back on her life. The
play, whose title is a reference to a phrase in the Hebrew prayer book,
"l'dor v'dor," which means "from generation to generation, ”examines how
we take what we get from our parents and then make choices about what we
will – and won’t -- pass on to our children. |
