How a certain Jewish family mourns a dead patriarch. The term is
'sitting Shiva' (mourning for seven days), when friends and
relatives commiserate, usually in the home of the deceased. As
children, we always understood this to be 'sit and shiver', which
also seemed most appropriate. While death has claimed the old man
and triggered the usual inflated eulogies - 'how important a man
becomes when they die' - it has also brought to the surface hidden
anxieties and grievances, only exacerbated when a visitor shows up
bearing strange news that threatens to tear the family apart. A
Jewish black comedy in the Berkoff tradition. Sit and Shiver was
first presented at the Odyssey Theater, Los Angeles, in March 2004.
The European premiere was held at the New End Theatre, London, in
association with Saw Productions, in May 2006.
