Summary: (this 58:30 program is the final version) Lublin, Poland, 1797: While they prepare for Passover, a family of Jewish women klezmer musicians struggles for survival, but when music and love prove not enough, only the unthinkable can save them. Starring Tovah Feldshuh (and hosted by Sound & Spirit's Ellen Kushner).

The musicians know their business and it is very pleasant to hear. However the acting was so hackneyed and the story so obvious that only the most devoted Passover addict could endure it. I thought of listening just to hear them play more, but no.
A fanciful and fantastic story delivered with a truly memorable score. A great example of how radio drama can combine voice, sound, and music to create an experience unlike any other
