A woamn talked to us toady after the show. She lost her son to AIDS when he was five and a half. She said she brought her other son, who is now 8, to see Yellow Boat so he could better understand what happened to his brother. She said she lived so many of the things in the play, like having her son kicked out of school, and friends dumping you out

this entry just chilled me- i am playing eva schloss- a holocaust survivor (and anne franks post-war stepsister) in a school tour now,a ndi will be meeting eva herself in about a week. i have never met a character i have played before (unless you count lara's pseudo autobiographical nonsense on one acts one year) and it is freaking me out a little. i am really really nervous, since i have read her book and have been rehearsing her true story all this time... i am glad you are having such a moving experience!
