Lally Cadeau is back on-stage in the Canadian debut production of Rose for the new Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company.
Rose is the story of an eighty-something Jewish woman who has witnessed first-hand many of the twentieth century’s tumultuous events. From the Russian shtetl to the Warsaw ghetto, to the doomed refugee ship “Exodus” and the fading glitz of postwar Atlantic City Rose has been tossed about like debris. But she is the ultimate survivor, looking back with a sense of detached wonder and an admirable lack of bitterness. It is both a sharply drawn portrait of a feisty Jewish woman, and a moving reminder of some of the tumultuous events that shaped the twentieth century.
Lally will be joined by fellow Stratford alums Diana Leblanc (director) and Phillip Silver (designer). The play is running now until March 29 at the Jane Mallet theatre at the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto.
