EAVESDROPPING ON DREAMS–A NEW PLAY ABOUT THE TRANS-GENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF THE HOLOCAUST TRAUMA
BY RIVKA BEKERMAN-GREENBERG, PH.D
Lynn Cohen and Jake Robards set to headline the cast of the world premiere of Rivka Bekerman-Greenberg’s EAVESDROPPING ON DREAMS, presented Off-Broadway by Barefoot Theatre Company with previews beginning April 20 prior to an official press opening of Sunday April 29 at the Cherry Lane Studio Theatre (38 Commerce Street) in Manhattan. Ronald Cohen will direct.
EAVESDROPPING ON DREAMS is Rivka Bekerman-Greenberg’s haunting play about three generations of women in one family and their struggles with coming to terms with the aftermath of the Holocaust. Shaina Eberkohn, a 25 year-old medical student, searches for clues about her family’s lost history. Her mother, who is paralyzed by her own demons, adamantly opposes Shaina’s obsession. And Shaina’s grandmother, a survivor of the Lodz ghetto and Auschwitz, refuses to help. All three women are caught in a spider’s web comprised of vague memories, distant emotions and nightmarish dreams. As they struggle to make sense of it all, they uncover a harrowing secret that unlocks their mysterious past.
The play will run at the Cherry Lane studio theatre for one month between April 20 and May 20 2012.
