Thursday, 6 feb 2025 7pm - 9.30pmWestminster Synagogue, London
The original play portrays the nearly century-long history of the Strach family from Brno, inextricably bound with the story of their machzor: seemingly lost forever after being confiscated in Theresienstadt, the prayer book has since been miraculously rediscovered and returned to the family. The stage rendering details the fate of multiple generations of its owners, relating tragical historical events with overwhelming simplicity.
