• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Orphaned by a 1903 pogrom in the Ukraine,
  the child Sima mistakenly thinks she sees her mother in
  Regina Krasovitskaya, a bored Jewish
  housewife visiting the orphanage with her husband,
  the factory-owner Yakov Isaevitch Krasovitsky.

  The couple decide to adopt the girl, despite the misgivings of
  the orphanage supervisor, Lyuba Borisovna.

  Eventually the child ends up with the Ukrainian maid,
  Manya, who has lost her own child.
