WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Beginning in 1910, Sylvia Regan's Morning Star tells the story of the hopes and struggles of an immigrant Jewish family on the Lower East Side of New York. Becky Felderman, a widow, has brought her four children to America so they might have a better life than they would in Russia. Their fortunes are shaped by the momentous events happening around them: the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, World War I and the Great Depression. First produced on Broadway in 1940, Morning Star shares with us a poignant quest for family, love and the promise of the American dream.

Sylvia Regan's Morning Star, currently being revived by the Peccadillo Theater Company at the Bank Street Theatre, has everything but the kitchen sink. That's only because a kitchen isn't revealed in set designer Joseph Spirito's Lower East Side Manhattan tenement-flat. While Regan's family drama, first produced on Broadway in 1940 and rarely seen since, has its effective stretches, the woe-is-me atmosphere may be too soap-opera-oriented to satisfy most of today's audiences.
There isn't much that doesn't happen to Jewish immigrant Becky Felderman (Susan Greenhill) as she fights from 1911 to 1931 to keep her family intact. The Mother Courage-like figure exclaims early on of the United Stat[...]
