A Holocaust Survivor Finds her Voice in FROM SILENCE by Anne Lucas
???????A cast of nine women led by Karen Lynn Gorney bring to life a story of the generational effects of the Holocaust in 'From Silence,' a new play by Anne Marilyn Lucas. It is widely acknowledged that even as Holocaust survivors are passing on, their trauma lives on in their children and grand children. This play explores how such trauma is inherited even without being spoken of, seemingly as a genetic or behavioral legacy. The piece then illustrates that speaking out, processing and understanding can bring healing to families. This world premiere will be presented by Theater for the New City from November 4 to 20, directed by Peter Zachari.
