November 3 - 12, 2000
Drawn from the experiences of
some of the over 10,000 Jewish children who were transported from Germany to safety before
the start of World War II, the play tells of a middle-class English woman named Evelyn who
has packed away her past in boxes in the attic. When her young adult daughter Faith
prepares to move out on her own, she uncovers momentos of her mothers’ hidden past
and Evelyn must grapple with the terms of her survival. In flashbacks, we see
Evelyn, as a young girl named Eva, on her journey from Germany to England and the plucky
Manchester woman who took her in and raised her.
