←Recommendations of Return

Having read this for the Jewish plays project, and subsequently having the privilege to act in a workshop reading, I've had the pleasure of reading this play multiple times, and I plan to read it more. The concept is brilliant, its execution is riveting, and is overall unapologetically Jewish. Kander takes science fiction and grounds us in reality, leaving us with burning questions and a desire to keep telling this story.

Kander's science-fiction conceit allows her explore the farce of mistaken identities, the inheritance of trauma, and the potential for tragedy when one acts without thinking of the consequences.

All along her characters explore the ethical teachings of Judaism, the scientific profession, and the lessons offered by folklore.

Fast-moving, expertly crafted, and thought-provoking, this play draws elegant connections between cutting edge science and old world folklore. It left me meditating on the past and future.

Moving, funny, and thoughtful. Does exactly what theater should do - entertain, provoke, and leave you talking long after the curtain goes does. Highly Recommend!

Wouldn't the greatest wish on earth be to bring back a loved one from the dead? But things aren't so simple for Miri and her mother Faye as they have much to look at. Moving and beautifully done.
