Theater and Theology's production of In a Stranger's Grave by Miriam Metzinger tells the story of Esther, the Israeli daughter of a convert to Judaism. She is plunged into crisis when she learns about the death of her mother and the local hevra kadisha's shocking revelation and decision. Esther and her family ultimately disagree about how to dignify her mother and, by extension, themselves, and Esther is left to battle alone. Whether she is courageously stalwart or merely crazy is in the eye of the beholder. Miriam Metzinger's play asks questions that trouble us: Can anyone but the convert judge the sincerity of her conversion? Can Jewish status ever be annulled? Does the pain of the individual always trump the needs of the community?


The performance will be followed by a discussion with Rabbi Yosef Wolicki who will share his unique perspective on converts and their families, and with the playwright, Miriam Metzinger, herself a convert, about the experiences that led her to write the play and the status of conversion in the Jewish world today.
