| Summary: | "Two sisters return to the crumbling Calcutta home of their childhood. Family secrets are revealed and the women are forced to re-examine their relationship with their mother and the reality of their own lives in the light of a hidden past. Set in the Indian Jewish community, this funny and moving play explores conflicts between old and new, east and west, tradition and truth. Award-winning writer Shelley Silas examines how family and culture, time and distance, influence our sense of who we are. If the past is another country, where is home?"--Cover. |
