Rose is a survivor. Her remarkable life began in a tiny Russian
village, took her to Warsaw’s ghettos and a ship called ‘The Exodus’
and finally to the boardwalks of Atlantic City, the Arizona canyons
and salsa-flavoured nights in Miami Beach.
The play is both a sharply drawn portrait of a feisty Jewish woman
and a moving reminder of some of the events that shaped the last
century.
