PAPERS skillfully weaves together in fresh new ways narratives that could each be their own play: story of two sisters whose relationship falls apart, the Russian revolution and its aftermath in Ukraine, a lesbian love story, the Holocaust, and a Jewish assimilation narrative. This play doesn't give easy answers and flips the script as we're on this journey with two competitive, squabbling sisters. The play asks how does one navigate a hostile, anti-semitic world without losing one's own identity? Strong theatrical voice, ready for next steps.
