Between 1938 and the outbreak of war, almost 10,000 children, mostly Jewish, were sent by their parents from Germany to Britain on what was known as the Kindertransport. Nine-year-old Eva ends up in Manchester. When Eva’s parents fail to escape, Eva begins the process of reinventing herself and the denial of her roots. But she is forced to confront her past by her own daughter who discovers some old letters in the attic. This award winning modern classic, first staged in 1993, explores the pain and passion of mother/daughter relationships and the anguish of separation and loss; particularly poignant as 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
