A Jewish family seeks to leave impending persecution by the Nazi regime, yet their ship are turned away at every foreign port where they arrive seeking asylum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The story is told with puppets, created by the cast of Alexis Milligan, Michael McPhee, Hilary Adams, Aliah Schwartz, Chris O&#8217;Neill and Jackson Fowlow, made from pieces of clothing and the performers&#8217; arms and feet. There are hardly any words spoken, and indeed, the most beautiful, honest and expressive storytellers become the performers\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is evocative that a play about people dehumanizing others, of stripping them of their freedom, dignity and ultimately their lives, focuses so much on something that is so universal- the way our hands love, comfort and often betray our innermost feelings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This play is a beautiful, poignant and haunting one and at a time when people are fleeing persecution in Russia it could not be timelier or more intensely relevant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TWISI Rating:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/5-of-5-stars.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2015\" alt=\"5 of 5 stars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/5-of-5-stars.jpg\" width=\"235\" height=\"59\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>937<\/em> plays at the Neptune Scotiabank Studio Theatre (1593 Argyle Street) as part of the Atlantic Fringe Festival at the following times:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Wednesday, Sep 4 \u2022 8:30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, Sep 5 \u2022 8:00 *<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Sep 6 \u2022 8:00 *<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Sep 7 \u2022 5:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tickets are $8.00 and are available in advance online\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/atlanticfringefest.eventbrite.com\/\">at this website<\/a>\u00a0or 30 minutes before each show at the venue on the day of the performance.
