It’s Shabbas. And six squabbling teenage girls at a weekly Talmud lesson negotiate snacks, sex, their souls and everything in between.

Loosely based on the underwritten women of the Torah, The Matriarchs by Liba Vaynberg charts the journey of six friends as they grow up and out of the orthodoxy. This is a play about girls, gods, mothers and other creators: for anyone and everyone who doesn’t always know what to believe in.
