Few theatre directors had a personal following equal to that of Dora Wasserman. This video is a filming of her successful one-woman show directed by her daughter Bryna Wasserman. The riveting performance is made up of stories about Dora's own life and monologues by her favourite authors including: Isaac Bashevis Singer, Sholem Aleichem, I.L. Peretz and others.
