The play, according to press notes, is set in the 1930s when "a young, Jewish school teacher takes a position at a predominantly black school in Newark, where she mentors a promising 11-year-old student from an impoverished home. Five decades later, the two meet in a hospital room, where they re-examine the complex history of their relationship."
Newark-born playwright Rudd is also the author of Peterpat, The Ashes of Mrs. Reasoner, Does Anybody Here Do the Peabody?, Step Out of Line, Dearest Cousin and Rumors in the Palace.
