Zoom Reading: Fifth Cup

On Passover each year, four cups of wine are drunk throughout the Seder. A fifth cup is poured and left at an empty seat for Elijah, the prophet and herald of the messiah.

Fifth Cup is a play in progress that explores the empty spaces that exist in modern Jewish life. Somewhere, two people watch as the Weisz family sits down for a Passover dinner and Seder. But the evening sputters to a halt as one question comes to the fore: who gets Elijah’s cup when the night is over?

Tune in for a reading from the first act and stick around after for a Q&A with the playwright, India Derewetzky, FCLC ’20. Derewetzky graduated summa cum laude after studying theatre performance.

This is a Duffy Fellows program event.
