This is a beautiful play. I took my daughter and grand-daughter to see it this winter, and we all loved it. It’s about the trials and tribulations of a Jewish family in the South in the 1930s, dealing with family problems, anti-semitism, the approaching war – but it’s also full of laughs and great characters. Wonderful show!
