The Covenant: In Conversation with Playwright Alice Abracen

In this episode of Chai Montreal: The Podcast, Lisa speaks with Alice Abracen, the playwright of The Covenant, playing at the Segal Centre in Montreal from November 13 to December 3, 2022. Throughout the interview, we discover what inspired Alice to write the play and the research she undertook to bring the story of the artistic acts of protests of those imprisoned in Theresienstadt to the stage.

The story of The Covenant is a story of horror, antisemitism and persecution, but it’s also a story of resistance, resilience, and community. It’s a story based on the past, but one that is pertinent to the present and important to remember for the future.
