Dr. Ruth Westheimer's fascinating life story
Starring Hana Laszlo
By Mark St. Germain
Translated by Miri Lazar
Directed by Tamar Keenan
Dr. Ruth Westheimer is known to the world as a tiny, smiling old lady who talks about sex openly and uninhibitedly. She has changed the way we discuss sex, becoming the most popular and beloved sexual therapist in the world. The world doesn't seem to know that she was born Karola Siegel, who, to become Dr. Ruth, has gone through an unusual and triumphal journey. Now, she lets us into her home to share with us
this journey. With her warmth, optimism, and famous humor, Dr. Ruth moves with the audience through her life's stations: her escape from Nazi Germany, growing up in a boarding school in Switzerland, her training as an Israeli sniper in the 1940s, her life as a single mom in the US, and finally – turning into an international celebrity.
This solo show is a detailed testimony of the life of a one-off personality, teaching us all how to choose our appropriate path in life and fully enjoy the pleasures of human relationships.
An enchanting solo show. A fascinating journey bringing out laughter and tears.
