For This Moment Alone
By Marcia Kash
March 23 – April 10, 2011
For This Moment Alone is a new Canadian play making it's World Premiere at Theatre Aquarius! Based on a true story, it asks, how far would you go to save a life? What do you consider the boundaries of family? Do we have the right to judge a person who has survived through hell? When Freddy arrives in Toronto from post-war Europe to reunite with his sister Ruth and other members of the Goldfarb family, it sets off a family crisis. As they each struggle to let go of the past and embrace life, they have to determine how much they are willing to forgive, where the truth lies and how to survive as a family. The title is a Talmudic reference to the hope that exists for humanity. When a person does a good deed that (s)he doesn't need to do, God looks down and says, "for this moment alone it was worth creating the world".
