"Rose" von Martin Sherman

"ROSE" by Martin Sherman is the play of the hour, even though it is set in 1999.

Rose, an 80-year-old Jewish woman, is sitting in her apartment in Miami Shiv'a, the traditional Jewish wake for close relatives.

At first we don't find out who the deceased is. She is alone, but the spirits of her life story are present. Rose tells, dramatically and with subtle humor, of the Yiddish shtetl, of the Warsaw ghetto, of the loss of loved ones, of her journey on the "Exodus" to Palestine and of her new beginning in the USA. And about how her children and grandchildren have to position themselves in Israel on the confused fronts of the Middle East conflict.
And finally, who Shiv'a sits for.
