Whisper Me Home Scott Shallenbarger

Whisper Me Home is a full-leghth play telling the story of a gay man who returns to his Orthodox Jewish parents? home with his life-partner and son after a two-year absence. The homecoming explodes with buried anger, humor, and secrets revealed as the generations attempt to find common ground. Flashbacks to Hungary, Auschwitz, and post-war America further electrify the theatrical landscape. Featuring a tour de force for Ruth, a colorful, big-hearted mother who challenges her family toward reconciliation, Whisper Me Home forces its characters to collide and redefine their beliefs about religion, love, and the most sacred gift of all: family.
