Daughter of the Wicked tells the story of Shanit Keter Schwartz returning to her homeland in search of her missing sister, who was taken during the Yemenite Children Affair. She looks back at her upbringing as a Yemenite Jewish girl in the newly formed country of Israel, paying special tribute to her Kabbalistic mystical Rabbi father, as she comes to terms with her tumultuous past. This riveting new play features an original soundscape of authentic Yemenite tin drums and flutes composed by Israeli composer Lilo Fedida to transport audiences from the sands of Yemen to the tin huts of the Israeli settlement camps to life in the projects. Nine-time Oscar nominee and Grammy Award winner James Newton Howard's cello composition will support the Kabbalistic texts that guide us through the story. Lions Bay Productions presents this New York premiere.
