TITLE: No Time To Weep
BRIEF ABOUT: Playwright and child Holocaust survivor Lucy Deutsch says, “My play will show not only the darkest time of the Holocaust, but it will inspire, through my determination to survive. It’s a story that begins joyfully for a young girl, then stepping into the Holocaust where so many times I was supposed to die, only to emerge in triumph.”
Set in Hungry in 1944, and at the age of 14, Lucy is removed with her family from their home and placed in a ghetto, from where they are sent to Auschwitz. She is the only member of her family to survive. Enduring her ordeal through determination, strength, bull-headedness, and a child’s fearless innocence she comes of age when, coming home after Auschwitz, she realizes she is no longer a child and cannot play with her friends any more.
No Time To Weep along with a cast of 17 brings to life Deutsch’s experience in Auschwitz through her art of writing and poetry, with songs that that will forever live in the hearts and minds of those who hear them.
