Beneath the Ice of the Vistula

Three-time Emmy Award winner Cady McClain stars in this new play about a reclusive Jewish composer and his Polish cook who form a volatile bond in the weeks leading up to the Nazi invasion, forcing them to confront art, love, and survival in a world on the brink of collapse. Set in Warsaw on the eve of World War II, the play reflects on the vanished world of pre-war European Jewish culture — its music, literature, theater, and everyday life — and on the fragile human connections that persist even as catastrophe approaches.
