Tsitsit The Jewish Fringe Festival returns to Book Week with a staged reading of a new comedy by Estee Stimler.

Two brothers argue over whether to bury or cremate their late father, while their sister despairs, their aunt interferes and the Rabbi practises his standup routine.

Following a full-house event in 2023, the Jewish Fringe Festival returns to Book Week with this exciting staged reading of a new comedy by Estee Stimler (Change of Heart, The Attic).

This event will last approximately 1 hour, without an interval.
