Synopsis
Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story is a humorously dark folk tale woven together with a high-energy concert.
This music/theatre hybrid starring international Klezmer sensation Ben Caplan is inspired by the true stories of Jewish Romanian refugees coming to Canada in 1908.
It's about how to love after being broken by the horrors of war.
It's about looking into the eyes of God.
Press Reviews
"The Old Stock experience becomes irresistible, borne along on a tide of brilliant klezmer music and original song that links us to an old world, and helps us to live joyfully in a new one."
— Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
"A work of mingled genres and strong flavors… mixes bitter herbs with apples and honey."
— The New York Times
