Winner of the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play
Finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama
Still the Night is a celebration of survival–the story of two young women who were separated from their parents during the Second World War and wander through Poland pretending not to be Jewish. Theresa Tova has fashioned from true stories a moving, heart-rending, and uplifting drama of survival against all odds and punctuated it with songs from the Holocaust era.
