Once again, the production will be led by the magnetic Maureen Lipman. Journey through a 20th-century turbulent Jewish experience as Lipman masterfully narrates this delicate historical drama of memory and heritage.

About Rose
As she sits in Shiva, a period of Jewish ritual mourning, eighty-year-old Rose ponders back on a tumultuous life, one that contains era-defining moments and spans continents. Through the life of one woman's anarchic experience, from the devastation of Nazi-occupied Europe to the American dream, Rose tells the story of a century where everything but the violence of the strong against the weak changed. It is an ode to a Jewish 20th-century experience that whilst personal, is also universal.
