AMSTERDAM

Amsterdam, by Maya Arad Yasur, is a timely play about the bills that always come due. Four performers acting as storytellers introduce us to an ex-pat Israeli musician whose dreams of assimilation into the European arts world are upended by the mysterious delivery of an unpaid gas bill – from 1944. The implications of the bill send her spiraling through issues of identity and alienness, legacy and peoplehood. Amsterdam is a thrilling and imaginatively-told mystery centered around the possible, devastating origins of the bill.
