Description: "Rivka wants the perfect Orthodox wedding. With two weeks to go, she has the man, the dress-and the wig. But when doubt is cast on her wig, everything starts to unravel. Rivka finds herself far from home, up a tree and in the midst of an anti-road protest, not knowing whether she'll be able to go back to where she came from- Or even if she wants to."--Publisher description.
Notes: Play based on a chance remark by Victoria Beckham in 2004, which sparked a crisis within the Orthodox Jewish community about the use of Hindu hair for wigs worn by Orthodox Jewish women.

"First performed at The Door, Birmingham Repertory Theatre on 11 February 2010; the subsequent tour is supported by the Sir Barry Jackson Trust; this play was developed with the support of the European Association for Jewish Culture."
