Award-winning digital revival of Martin Sherman’s Rose, starring Dame Maureen Lipman, will return due to overwhelming demand.

In collaboration with the Hope Mill Theatre, the performance will be made available to stream from 13 November - 13 December, making theatrical entertainment accessible for people at home during the lockdown.

Rose was filmed in the empty Hope Mill auditorium, directed by Scott Le Cross in close collaboration with Sherman.

The powerful one-woman production is a moving reminder  of some of the harrowing events that shaped the century and remains sadly relevant today with  racial tensions and allegations of antisemitism continuing to dominate the news.  

Blending the personal with the political, this sharply drawn portrait of a feisty Jewish woman traces Rose’s story from the devastation of Nazi-ruled Europe to conquering the American  dream. Rose reflects on what it means to be a survivor. Her remarkable life began in a tiny  Russian village, took her to Warsaw's ghettos and a ship called The Exodus, and finally to the  boardwalks of Atlantic City, the Arizona canyons, and salsa-flavoured nights in Miami beach. 

Lipman said: “Rose was the most exciting job I’ve ever had, and I am so glad we have an opportunity to share it with a wider audience. I can’t wait for it to be back on screen for the next four weeks so I can share that excitement with you.”
