Created and performed by Tamara Micner
Canadian Premiere
Praises for Micner’s theatrical work:
“Strikingly witty and polished…intelligent, funny and certainly worth seeing.” —Varsity
“The script’s greatest strength is its ability to appreciate families in both their eccentricities and their depth.” —Georgia Straight
This brave and moving one-woman show looks our trauma straight in the eye, from a third-generation perspective, and asks how we can honour the stories we inherit while breaking free from them.
Tamara Micner is an award-winning writer, performer and theatre-maker from Vancouver who lives in London, UK. A Yale University Graduate, her work explores lesser known women’s and Jewish stories from the past to help us imagine alternative futures.
