The one act comedy Flesh and Blood is set in a Jewish cemetery in Queens, N.Y. It is pre-dawn. Three headstones have been marked with swastikas. Shelia Krickstein appears and crosses to the desecrated grave of her mother. She's looking for the caretaker who called her with the news, but instead, encounters an older grieving woman in 50s attire and, later, a judgmental Rabbi.
Pregnant, overdue, abandoned by her husband, and scarred by her upbringing, Shelia has little patience with these unwelcome representatives of a religious culture that she believes has failed her. As tensions rise, and her long-repressed grievances emerge, Shelia suddenly finds herself in an unexpected moment of spiritual and physical salvation.
Written and directed by Dana Coen. Presented by Open-Door Playhouse in podcast form.
