Schlepping

Two performers play an entire Jewish family as they navigate what it means to be Jewish with or without a nation-state. A story that wrestles with the bleeding lines between personal politics and unconditional love, Schlepping questions the limitations of empathy and how to keep ‘shalom bayit’.

Schlepping was first developed in late 2021 as a thesis piece for the MA Theatre Lab at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. The show was stripped back for a new work-in-progress showing at the Coronet Theatre in July 2022.
