1940, a panicked war government ships thousands of Holocaust escapee women to a seaside prison camp.
Stuffed into boarding houses, this random bundle of refugees and the odd devout Nazi, live in suspension where an ice cream sundae comes with a side order of barbed wire.
Separated from relatives, careers and homes by Hitler, then husbands and children by Churchill, this is a play about the real humans living inside government decisions, and whether a life without family or home is really any kind of survival…
A work in progress play reading of this new dramatic work by renowned Jewish writer and comic Meryl O’Rourke, about her mother and grandmother’s arrival in Britain. Supported by Yad Vashem UK.
Presented as part of Tsitsit Festival 2024.
