Cling to Me Like Ivy

Cling to Me Like Ivy

by SamanthaEllis (Author)

Synopsis

Samantha Ellis' play was inspired by a chance remark by Victoria Beckham in 2004 which sparked a crisis within the Orthodox Jewish community about the wigs worn by married women. Rivka wants the perfect wedding. She has the man, the dress, the wig and two weeks to go. But when doubt is cast on her wig everything starts to unravel and Rivka finds herself far from home, up a tree and caught up in the eviction of an anti road protest, not knowing whether she'll be able to go back to where she came from, or whether she wants to.
