Part
Part
by Mariel Eve Berlin-Fischler
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.
Playwright Mariel Eve Berlin-Fischler
“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.”
