To Cross a River
To REACH ACROSS A RIVER
by Marshall Botvinick
Yehudis and her husband spent years struggling with infertility. After her marriage falls apart, she decides to adopt a biracial girl, forever altering her relationship with the ultra-Orthodox community she grew up in.
“It’s so rare to see a play with such reverence for Orthodoxy, particularly in such an unorthodox—and beautiful—story.”
