Jude

Using actual text from his sister's diary, Jude is the story of Jacob Fishkin's life, his survival of the Holocaust, his sister's death, and his attempt to build a relationship with a writer in 2001 to tell his story. The play is a fugue traveling back and forth in time to Poland right before WWII and during, and New York CIty in the early 2000s just before 9/11. It is a story of survivorship and the desire to have one's family legacy preserved.
