AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On the cobble-stone streets of medieval Prague: dead children, drained of blood, are piling up; an invisible emperor decrees a purging of the ghetto; and a Rabbi works through the dark night to fashion an avenging monster, a creature of absolute and terrifying power.

Into this world steps a woman robbed of memory. Soon she'll see things she wished she could forget. Whatever its source, desire burns.

What happens if we free ourselves from our stories? If God has turned His back on the world, who has the right to take His place?'

(Malthouse Theatre website)
