A powerful, moving and deeply affecting portrait of a family, which conveys the aftermath of the Holocaust through a poignant, imaginatively conceived examination of one divided family's experience. Set in New York City after World War II, the play has been widely produced by America's leading regional theatres, and went on to become a long-run Off-Broadway success.

"…a tribute to the sustaining power of family and to man's indomitability." —NY Times.
