Following successful streamed runs during previous lockdowns, Martin Sherman’s Rose, starring Dame Maureen Lipman, will be free to watch on Freeview channel Sky Arts on 27 January at 10pm. It will also return online, made available via BroadwayHD. 

This thought-provoking production from Ginger Quiff Media is being released to mark Holocaust Memorial Day and acts as a moving reminder of the harrowing events that shaped the century. 

Directed by Scott Le Crass in collaboration with Sherman, this powerful one-women show is sadly still relevant today due to continued racial tensions and allegations of anti-semitism. This portrait of a feisty Jewish woman traces Rose’s story from the devastation of Nazi-ruled Europe to conquering the American dream by blending the personal with the political. The Daily Mail stated that in this production Lipman gives the “best performance of her career”. 

Thomas Hopkins of Ginger Quiff Media said": “We are thrilled to bring Rose back, fittingly on Holocaust Memorial Day, which serves as a timely reminder of the plight of a generation. Maureen Lipman embodies the story, and we can’t wait for a wider audience to experience this ‘tour de force’ performance on both Sky Arts and BroadwayHD”.
