T295030391
Quirky, passionately funny, and deeply moving,
Stay with Me deals wit highly emotive themes.
Stay with Me consists of two plays, the first set in a concentration camp in Germany and the second in a bombed-out cellar in the South of England, with the events taking place over the same three nights. As the stakes are raised, fifteen children, thousands of miles apart discover together first hand the true meaning of friendship, love, and death - and what it is to be truly human.
Stay with Me (This is My Story - 23 January 1945. It's cold, Very cold. The children in 5B47D are starving. But they have each other. They have each other because they are Jewish. When Blieta, a young Sinti girl, is thrown into their dormitory, she sparks off rivalries that question the alliances made, and throws into doubt the survival of the children present.
Stay with Me (That Lovely Land - 23 January 1945. A stray bomb hits a school in the South of England trapping five children in its cellar. No one knows they're there and time is running out. Slipping in and out of the past, Daisy revisits the night she grew up. She's been doing it every night in her dreams for the past sixty years. But tonight is different. Because tonight Daisy is going home.
