Judah's Daughter

Tragedy / 5m, 4f / 1 set / Here is a new theatrical form the author calls an eurythmy. It is a system of movements to words with the actors wearing full face masks. The piece may also be done as a conventional play without masks. The story of Judah and his daughters, one legitimate and raised as an orthodox Jew and the other illegitimate and raised as a Roman Catholic, is a family tragedy. Both girls fall in love with the same man, a gentile. The tug of war that ensues destroys Judah and his daughter. The heart felt conclusion brings tears to the eyes of all who see this sensitive work. Winner of the 1998 Dorothy Silver International Playwrighting Contest.
