Respected judge and Holocaust scholar David Lewin nears the end of his life, slipping in a morphine haze between the present and ghostly visits from his parents in their younger forms, fleeing Nazi Germany and Lithuania in the late 1930s. These moments carry him back to the narrow escapes that shaped his family’s story and made his own life possible.
Spanning generations, the play explores justice, memory, and how to say goodbye.
