Synopsis: | In St Kilda there was once the legendary Cafe Scheherazade run by Avram and Masha Zeleznikow, a haven for Jewish refugees in the Melbourne of the 1960s. This play picks up on the stories told by its clientele to a journalist come to write an article about the cafe but who stays to write a book. In the process he finds a wall of distrust and fear which he finally penetrates to discover the hidden stories of his subjects, their urge to speak out one last time as they face death and the closure of the cafe, and their struggles to ensure they are telling thim the truth. Memories betray them, friendships unravel, nostalgia overcomes them. In the face of it all it is their courage and their honesty that inspires the writer to follow them into the world of the immigrant and the terrors of their pasts. | |||||
