Scrambled

by Beth Kander

Full-Length Play | “Scrambled is funny, poignant, and relevant to anyone who has ever wondered what they're supposed to be doing with their life. The characters feel familiar, and yet the story feels fresh—a powerful combination.” –Denise Halbach, SETC | Sara is wisecracking, single, broke, and secular. Neshama is serious, married, infertile, and Orthodox. When fate, God, and Sara's Episcopalian roommate bring these two Jewish women together, each must question what really matters, what they really want— and what they're willing to do to get it. As Sara considers donating her eggs, and Neshama ponders accepting them, both women find themselves unexpectedly scrambled. ( 5F)

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great play that has a special place in my heart. It's funny, and fun. It's moving and heart-breaking. It's hopeful. Taking on identity, family, growing up, and growing older. About loss and sharing and celebrating who we are as well as who we might become. A good read, and a great stage play.
