Details
Ezra, his sister Noya, and mother Ellen are three secular Jews clumsily undertaking the task of Seder dinner. Fucking up the order, terrible at Hebrew and using Haribo eggs instead of real ones, they fumble their way through a sacred religious tradition centred around remembering what we often forget. However a much darker memory lurks beneath the meal's surface. Written in response to hostile British attitudes towards Jewishness,
EZRA is an exploration of secular British Jewishness, trauma, memory and what it means to protect someone from themselves.
