A young Jewish woman reckons with the ghosts of her past and the apparitions of the present during and after a research trip to Poland. As she is launched back and forth through history, she is forced to consider the nature of her project while a scattering of strangers embark on their own moralistic journeys.

This production contains discussions of war crimes, the Holocaust, and anti-Semitism.

ABOUT IOWA NEW PLAY FESTIVAL
For more than 40 years, the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts has presented an annual festival centered on producing, reading, and analyzing new scripts from the Iowa Playwrights Workshop. Preparing 10 new plays and presenting them in a single week is a monumental undertaking that is only possible through the utilization of Department of Theatre Arts’ wide-ranging resources in acting, directing, design, dramaturgy, stage management, and technical support. Through staged readings and productions, Festival showcases the process of new play development.
