Description From Performance Space database (Australian and New Zealand Theatre Record): "Born in the Jewish 'ghetto' of Sydney's Eastern suburbs, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, the woman they call 'Wayne', presents a solo performance set inside and around a gigantic corrugated iron Torah scroll."

Reviewer's opinion: "Fascinating theatre, a teasing of notion of Jewish ritual - as spiritual sustenance... Deborah Leiser weaves fastidious patterns of words, music, movement, visual imagery and daunting prayer... eloquent theatre of artistry and intellect."
