Synopsis:
Set in Toronto in 1948, a Jewish family, struggling to recover from the horrors of the war in europe, finally has cause to rejoice. Ruth is about to be reunited with the only surviving member of her immediate familyher brother FrEddie. But when she goes to Union Station to meet him she is faced with the most devastating shock of her young lifethe brother she was expecting turns out to be a stranger, an imposter holding her brother's papers. Suddenly she and the family with whom she lives are forced into a situation that is almost impossible to resolve. If they abandon this displaced person they condemn him to more pain, more suffering and risk the possibility of his being deported. For Joe, the patriarch of the family, there is no choice: to save one live is to save the world. He takes this enigmatic "FrEddie" into his home and calls upon himself and the other members of the household to embark on finding some way of living with their suspicions, their anger and their guilt. At what point do you stop helping your fellow man? Should there be a line between "blood" and "water"? Where does responsibility end? the play follows the paths of Ruthie, Joe and the rest of the family as they come to terms with what it means to accept, to forgive and to survive.

Too Many Cooks

Too Many Cooks
It's 1932 in Niagara Falls, Canada, where the rum-running business is at its peak. In the aftermath of the Crash, Irving Bubbalowe and his daughter Honey, have risked everything they have to open a new gourmet restaurant. When their star-the renowned singing Chef Francois LaPlouffe - fails to appear, tonight's grand opening is suddenly placed in jeopardy. However, when unemployed chef Frank Plunkett wanders in looking for work, Honey persuades him to masquerade as the missing LaPlouffe. the beleaguered Bubbalowe, meanwhile, also has to contend with Chicago gangster al Feghetti and his sidekick who have come looking for an illegal shipment of booze residing in his basement. In addition, Bubbalowe has to keep at bay the hot-blooded Immigration officer Veronica Snook, on the trail of the vanished chef, as well as a suspicious tee-totaling Mountie, who is ready to arrest Bubbalowe for both murder and bootlegging. Madness ensues, and Bubbalowe and the others create a hornet's nest of fabricated stories (and identities) as they try to valiantly save the restaurant - and themselves - from both the gangsters and the law.
