Synopsis:
A play charting the dark and unexpected secrets which hide behind the disjointed memories and imaginings of an old man and his cat. Set during the Second World War, the play tells the story of Yitzhak, a migrant Jewish worker in the bulb fields near Amsterdam, his cat, Pushka, his son, Ibrahim, and his wife, Esther. Despite the apparently placid exterior of a man in the Autumn of his life, Yitzhak’s past has been dominated by violent and tragic events, both internal and external. What is the true nature of justice, and the price of survival?
