The Oath
Set in 1966, "The Oath" unfolds in a drab hotel room in Communist Poland, where Gershon and Mendel, best friends who escaped to Israel twenty-two years earlier, return for a funeral. Through conversations, songs, and arguments, they are forced to confront a night that will forever change their lives. Haunted by the ghosts of their past, they whisper to lost loves, fuel lingering rivalries, and bolster a friendship that never seems to give in. From the wisdom of Jewish Philosophers to the bafoonery of Arak and Vodka, the play confronts spiritual conundrums on the Jewish question through delightfully crafted dialogue that will make you feel you are sitting at the dinner table on a long awaited holiday. Infused with Yiddish folklore and live music, its more than a performance; its a celebration of heritage, identity, and the enduring power of memory.
