The world premiere of Darrah Teitel's new play, Forever Young: A Ghetto Story, opened to an almost full house at Great Canadian Theatre Company. Teitel's previous works have been called controversial for the way they tackle difficult subjects with humour and this play is no different.Forever Young tells the story of three young Polish Jews, Izzy (Ori Black), Eden (Brittany Kay), and Joshua (Billie Nell), who have taken refuge inside a cabaret in Warsaw. The play's timeline is the lead up to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. Izzy, Eden, and Joshy are hiding out from the Schutzstaffel (SS), who are rounding up thousands of starving Jews daily with the promise of bread and then shipping them to the death camps at Treblinka. The trio know that they inevitably face one of three eventualities: their hideout will be discovered, they will be shot in the street, or they will die of starvation or disease. While awaiting their fate, they document their plight by taking minutes and photographs that they then place into metal milk canisters, with the help of Eden's lover, a goy man (a Yiddish pejorative term for a gentile), aptly named Christian (Drew Moore). Eden is also Izzy's on and off again lover and Izzy also professes his love for Joshua, but no one seems to really mind this sharing of affections. Their circumstances bind them to each other, despite myriad differences in their individual backgrounds and beliefs.
