Like so many great mysteries, it all began in an attic with a dusty old suitcase…The discovery of a stash of over two hundred letters in three languages opens clues to an untold history in The Lucky Star —a gripping true story of resilience and determination, a family torn apart by war, fighting to immigrate, escape and survive. With scenes alternating between past and present, this mesmerizing drama brings Richard Hollander’s book, Every Day Lasts a Year: A Jewish Family’s Correspondence from Poland to the stage, restoring a family’s uncharted legacy.
