Meet The Playwright...

Here's a look at the playwright of our upcoming Spring production of EAVESDROPPING ON DREAMS at The Cherry Lane Theatre...

RIVKA BEKERMAN-GREENBERG, Ph.D. (Playwright) Dr. Bekerman-Greenberg was born in an Italian refugee camp after the Second World War, and grew up in Tel-Aviv. Both of her parents were survivors. She attributes her love of the theater to her father, who worked as a lighting and sound designer at one of Israel’s leading stage venues. Recently Bekerman-Greenberg produced and directed "I am carrying the Holocaust in my pocket," a documentary focusing on interviews conducted with four granddaughters of survivors. Bekerman-Greenberg is also as a clinical psychologist/psychoanalyst, practicing privately in Manhattan. She received her

doctorate from London University, and is a graduate of the NYU post-doctoral training program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, she currently serves on the faculty of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, and leads frequent workshops and therapy groups concentrating on the treatment of the transmission of trauma between generations. Bekerman-Greenberg lives in Midtown with her husband, Phillip. Eavesdropping on Dreams is her first play.

Ronald Cohen will direct. EAVESDROPPING ON DREAMS is Rivka Bekerman-Greenberg’s haunting play about three generations of women in one family and their struggles with coming to terms with the aftermath of the Holocaust. Shaina Eberkohn, a 25 year-old medical student, searches for clues about her family’s lost history. Her mother, who is paralyzed by her own demons, adamantly opposes Shaina's obsession. And Shaina’s grandmother, a survivor of the Lodz ghetto and Auschwitz, refuses to help. All three women are caught in a spider’s web comprised of vague memories, distant emotions and nightmarish dreams. As they struggle to make sense of it all, they uncover a harrowing secret that unlocks their mysterious past. Joining Ms. Cohen and Stephanie Roth Haberle in the cast of EAVESDROPPING ON DREAMS will be Aidan Koehler, Mike Shapiro and Christopher Whalen.
