Two deeply-linked monologues show us the astonishing courage and resilience of young human beings during earth shattering moments. Each piece introduces us to a fifteen-year-old girl: the first speaks to us from contemporary Toronto, and the second from Auschwitz, 1945. Thanks to their shared love of Shakespeare, each girl believes in miracles when there is almost no hope and in humour when there is nothing but fear. Theatre Passe Muraille is excited to welcome Judith back 30 years after her first work, The Crackwalker, burst onto its Backspace stage.
