Event description
Rika and Edith, two close and caring sisters, are about to discover a shocking truth about their past. Can they adapt or will they now, after seventy years, become strangers? Set on a kibbutz in Israel in 1996, TWO SISTERS reveals the humour, rivalry and secrets of the sisters’ lives; two journeys that are inextricably entwined. It explores relationships between siblings and those enmeshed in emotional ties with wildly differing perceptions of past events. It looks at the realities of growing old with insight, wit and a charming frankness.
