This powerful one-woman play is a moving reminder of some of the harrowing events that shaped the century and remains sadly relevant today with racial tensions and allegations of a ntisemitism continuing to dominate the news.Blending the personal with the political, this sharply drawn portrait of a feisty Jewish woman traces Rose's story from the devastation of Nazi-ruled Europe to conquering the American dream. Rose reflects on what it means to be a survivor. Her remarkable life began in a tiny Ukrainian 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.This revised edition was published to coincide with the new production at London's Park Theatre starring Maureen Lipman as Rose.
