Buy this book at Amazon or for Kindle

Jack, a young and ambitious lawyer in his busy routine, bumps into a street stall where an old stamp seller works. What is just a brief conversation thrown away becomes a tragic reflection on family ties, Jewish heritage, and the role of memory in private life.

This is a story built up by Rafael Duarte Oliveira Venancio, a Brazilian playwright who melts history, science and pure imagination to write his theater. He has plays, like this, which were written in English and performed by American and Canadian theatre companies on Zoom or even in a street. It is just a glimpse to a way of writing drama that uses all the components of the human experience.
