A Splintered Soul

International City Theatre
330 East Seaside Way Long Beach

A gripping drama about war refugees haunted by the death of their loved ones — and by memories of the things they had to do to survive. It's 1947 in San Francisco, home to a group of resettled Holocaust survivors from Poland whose very existence depended on blurring the lines between right and wrong. It is there we meet Rabbi Kroeller and a group of morally starved refugees as they seek to define their existence in this new, tidy post-war America. How can these splintered souls adapt to a new life in a new land, where all the rules have changed?

"...World War II Holocaust survivors and Los Angeles theater audiences deserve far better than the preposterously plotted 1940s B-movie melodramatics of would-be Long Beach playwright Alan L. Brooks' A Splintered Soul, a major misfire from the almost always stellar International City Theatre."

Theatre Notes - Highly Recommended

"...Under the keen direction of Marya Mazor, the cast is spellbinding. I especially appreciated the performances of Mr. Weinberg, who utterly transforms himself in the distinctly opposite characters of Sol and Leo, as well as that of Ms. Falk who is irritatingly brittle and haughty as Sadie, warm and loving as the spirit of the Rabbi's dead wife Sarah, and urbane and sympathetic as Countess Minassi."
