500			_aThe play was first staged by the Soho Theatre Company in London in 1993.
520			_aThe play tells the story of how nine-year-old Eva, a German Jewish girl, is sent by her parents on the Kindertransport to start a new life in Britain just before the outbreak of World War Two; how she changes her name and begins the process of denying her roots; and how, when her own daughter discovers some old letters in the attic, she is forced to confront the truth about her past. In this author's guide to the play, Diane Samuels investigates the historical background, drawing on the personal testimony of those whose lives were transformed by the Kindertransport. She explores the creative process that shaped the play through successive drafts. And she presents detailed accounts from the actors, directors, producers and designers who have contributed to the play's most notable productions.
