A past betrayal plunges a family into fresh panic with the arrival of an unexpected text message, minutes before Shabbat. As the clock ticks toward the Sunday wedding of her only daughter, a mother is forced to choose between family connection and family protection in the light of a long-buried secret.

    I am so excited by the complexity of Jewish representation in this play, especially the look at the Mashadi community, which rarely has appeared onstage. But more importantly, I was moved by the depth of feeling, the crisp and clear characterizations, and the way the plays unfolds.

    There are currently tears running down my cheeks. Tears of pride, tears of sadness, tears of nostalgia, tears of being seen, tears of happiness, everything tears could be, they are flowing. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of theater I have ever read. To my fellow playwrights and readers, read it. To any companies out there, produce it. To all audiences, watch it. To everyone, know this play, because soon the world will.
