Samantha Ellis

Cling To Me Like Ivy (NHB Modern Plays) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A sassy, offbeat comedy-drama about rebelling against your roots.

Rivka wants the perfect Orthodox wedding. With two weeks to go, she has the man, the dress - and the wig. But when doubt is cast on her wig, everything starts to unravel. Rivka finds herself far from home, up a tree and in the midst of an anti-road protest, not knowing whether she'll be able to go back to where she came from... Or even if she wants to.

Samantha Ellis' play was inspired by a chance remark by Victoria Beckham in 2004 which sparked a crisis within the Orthodox Jewish community about the wigs worn by married women.

'that genuinely rare beast, a popular comedy with heart, brains and the stomach to make some difficult choices' - Guardian
