Cakewalk
Author(s): Nalsey Tinberg
Ma is the only survivor in her family of the Holocaust. Her daughter, mostly assimilated, learns of her mother's struggle and survivor guilt, as she survives a cancer diagnosis and her own survivor guilt. Not your typical Jewish mother-daughter tale, this play starts comfortably familiar then accelerates from zero to sixty taking on serious themes (war, illness, childbirth, family, faith, history) before you have a chance to recover from your tears or last laugh. These two women are, at their core, bonded inextricably. Their relationship? Anything but a “cakewalk.”
